what are the other effects of global warming aside from to much rain and to much hot?

Answer 1

Poltical effects-taxes, bans and mandates to further government control over we the people.
Acute loss of jobs resulting from movement of work to countries not complying with said taxes, bans and mandates.

Answer 2

Rising sea level from melting glaciers on land, especially Greenland and Antarctica (but NOT from the north polar ice cap, which is already floating in the sea). The "much too hot" thing is NOT a problem. People just think it is because of the word "warming" in the term "global warming". But the temperature will not rise enough to notice easily.

Answer 3

Actually, while in some areas the temperatures will rise, in others it will fall. The melting of the polar ice caps will disrupt the major currents flowing through the oceans, which take with them hot air and warm some areas. Not to mention that such a disruption will also damage weather patterns, which have up till now been remarkably stable on Earth, and can cause disastrously violent changes in the weather.

Answer 4

You will slowly see :

1. The slow destruction of plant and animal life which will destroy natural food chains in the sea(as the sea temp rises).

2. An increase in the number of major scrub and forest fires as has already happened in Australia, Greece, Indonesia, America and Africa.

3. An increase in drought areas within Europe, Asia, America and Africa. Crops will fail more frequently. Food prices will rise sharply.

4. More starvation in the undeveloped countries of Asia and Africa due to the drought and flooding.

5. Loss of world animal and plant species for above reasons.

6. Survival Wars. In areas that have no food and water due to drought and floods. This is already happening in Middle Africa(..there are about 8 wars and rebellions going on there right now for this reason).

7. You also need water for treating sewage. If there are floods then this equals more disease.

8. Industry can't survive without water.

9. Only 3 major countries in the world have sustainable freshwater as opposed to re-cycled water: Canada, Russia and Brazil.

10. Never before seen weather events will occur. There are now tornadoes regularly happening in both the UK and Europe. Super-hurricanes and Super-typhoons are now more frequent.


That's about it.

Answer 5

Beyond what's already been mentioned here, a lot of subtle effects on the plants and animals. Changes in patterns of temperature and precipitation will disrupt many "food chains". Polar bears are just a small and flashy example, the effects will be far more widespread and profound.

Answer 6

big hurricanes
little hurricanes
no hurricanes
earthquakes
tsunamis
no snow
blizzards
heat waves
extreme cold
drought
floods

all that and much more is being "caused" by global warming.

if it isn't a constant 70*f and 15% RH year 'round, then we can blame man and his use of fossil fuels.

Answer 7

Assuming it's a real phenomenon - you'll see the following effects, at a minimum:

1. Sea level rise, and the subsequent mass-migration of folks away from affected coastlines. This will be terribly expensive.

2. More frequent and intense tropical cyclones.

3. Prolonged droughts in vulnerable agricultural areas.

4. Species extinction for animals and plants that can't adapt quickly enough (polar bears, etc.).

Answer 8

Longer growing season, more food production, increased CO2 sequestration by plants, less cold related diseases, increased productivity, & more days in the winter available to work or play outdoors.

Answer 9

We will lose many differents species of animals, we will lose portions of the land to rising sea levels, we will lose whole entire seasons. These are just three of the things that can go wrong and are already well on the way to happen.

Answer 10

Why are there so many thumbs down on this question, seems reasonable to me!
