will the world have a natural disaster because of global warming ?

Question

Some scientist believe that the world will have a huge natrual disaster is it true ?

Answer 1

Only time will tell the real answer to your question, right now all we can do is speculate what will/might happen in the future.

Answer 2

Right now, conditions in the world are not bad enough for everyone to agree on the nature, or even the existence, of global warming. In twenty years, when the last glaciers on Greenland fall into the ocean, we'll find out just how dire the situation is and will become over the next few centuries.

Yes, there will be numerous catastrophes over the next few centuries; this isn't something debatable like "why did the chicken cross the road?" It's science, and there is plenty of credible evidence demonstrating that human civilization, by pumping ever increasing amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, is the primary source of global warming.

The real problem, however, is that we don't have time to wait for all the anti-science folks to jump on the bandwagon. If we are to halt the rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and prevent complete disaster, then we must take action now. We have only a narrow window to accomplish this. After that window passes, there will be no turning back.

Answer 3

Were already seeing some of the effects of HUGE natural disasters right now.

Examples

~ It rained in the UK for about four months straight because a high pressure front couldn't move.
~ We have had stronger and more hurricanes that we did 50 years ago.
~ Seasons are longer and more extreme. Take the hottest 10 years on record and they will all be in the last 14 years.
~ New diseases are being discovered.
~ Diseases are mutating to cope with the weather and our medicines.
~ Animals are migrating to cope with temperature and habitat loss/change
~ Corals are bleaching due to a rise in sea temperature
~ Insect's are moving further and further up North and up mountains because they can live in higher altitudes because they are now becoming warm enough for them to survive.
~ Crops are growing in more places and there unable to grow in some places in the world.
~ Ice caps are melting.
~ Sea levels are raising

The list goes on and on.

Answer 4

The world is already a "natural disaster". Between weather events such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, blizzards and tornadoes to earth events like earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunami, the earth is becoming one huge natural disaster but take heart, look at history and you will find everything is cyclonic. It all happens in a pattern and repeats itself. The magnetic poles we are familiar with are totally different than they were millions of years ago and in fact, are theorized to have been located at what we now call the equator. Maybe what we are dealing with now is nothing more than another pattern beginning or ending. Who knows. Don't sweat it tho.

Answer 5

The only natural disaster is man. Too many naked apes. The global climate change is not a disaster, life will adapt. Man will fret and fuss and resist change, to their detriment. We should write off Old Orleans as a casualty of that change and start relocating gradually inland from the coasts to minimize future hurricane loss. The loss of rain forests, to me, seems worse than a temperature increase, because life can adapt, but death is permanent.

Answer 6

Not likely.
Natural disasters happen all the time, earthquakes and tsunamis are not likely to be caused by global warming, nor would volcanic eruptions.
These are truly natural and would happen regardless, surprisingly enough, so have hurricanes, which have been occurring since the year dot, far longer than some ignoramuses lifetime.

Answer 7

Some people say it already has. They would say that the reduction in north polar ice that is threatening the polar bears survival IS a natural disaster because of global warming. People like Darth Kreia above.

Answer 8

the world is having Natural disasters almost monthly dont you check the news
droughts ,hurricanes etc.
Mexico has earth quakes, floods
recently there was another tsunami some where
just how many disasters do you want ????

and the predictions say that from 2005 there will be increasinly Natural disasters
the big one will hit us in 2012 ,
can you wait that long

Answer 9

I wouldn't exactly call it a NATURAL disaster. Because if people wouldn't have created all of this un-natural stuff that contributed greatly to global warming, we wouldn't even be in this mess.

Answer 10

I'm not sure. Considering what's happening now and because we think that the world is being affected by global warming, I believe so. Although, I would want more proof about global warming, even though I'm seen enough.

Answer 11

There is supposed to be an ice age in about 175-300 years
