do you believe we'll all die because of global warming? in how many years?

Answer 1

It won't be a Hollywood style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.

Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

Really good website for more information here:

Lots of numerical scientific data proving it real here:

Proof that most scientists think it's real and mostly caused by us here:

Answer 2

Nobody will ever die because of global warming. It is a very subtle problem that, according to Al Gore, will slowly creep up on us unnoticed. I would think everybody dying would be noticed, don't you? This year we are already seeing many more miles of sea ice near the North Pole thawing in summer. Careful measurements of temperature and sea level can just barely detect a tiny increase. By the year 2107 (in 100 years) it will be slightly more noticeable, but not much more. The North Pole may thaw completely every summer, but the freeze in winter again. Melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica may cause sea level to rise a couple feet, causing some land that is already subject to frequent storm surge flooding to be permanently submerged, but no land that is truly high and dry today will flood. Average world air temperature may be up a few degrees. And about that time, if we make no changes in how we use oil, the world runs out of oil. So then we will have to give up cars and planes and trains and ships, unless we have found alternative fuels by then. So the biggest problem is running out of oil, not the environmental effects of using that oil.

Answer 3

No i don't believe we,ll all die some may before its all over but we die from a number of things every living thing on earth does that's just the way its set up at the moment . You know we are Gods children and if nothing ells happens God will step in . Actually we are really new and young to this planet . we are just beginning to understand what makes everything tick . Man has come a long way from back in the cowboy days in just a short time . Sure we screwed up allot of things but how was we to know the difference when we didn't have a manual on how to treat the earth . Basically we are just stumbling through .

I think we need to pull together a little bit better then what we are doing now and make all man equal not just the super powers end the wars and greed of man. But being that we are gods children i think he gave us the power to pull through anything the only thing standing in our way is greed .

I feel that we are going to pull through this but not without loss of lives and it may just teach us a good lesson . If you think about mans time on this planet that's all we have been doing is learning this is just another step that we must endure but i do have faith in God above and in my fellow humans

If we don't blow ourselves up first! At the rate society is going we'll be in a world like the ones you see in movies such as the 5th element and others. The smog is so thick everyone that can afford to, lives above the cities and those that live below are diseased, poor, homeless. There's no plant life, very little unpolluted water and you know your in h---.So much attention is being paid to the wrong issues at hand and if the terrorists don't blow us up, we may destroy ourselves. I feel bad for all the children being born now. What will they grow up into? People, especially the ones who live in big fancy houses and have money to throw around, should stop and think and look around. We don't appreciate what we have and regard it, too many are greedy, selfish and braindead!

Answer 5

I reckon I'll live to about 78, I might live a bit longer due to global warming as it has encouraged a healthier diet, more awareness of the cleanliness of the environjment around me and encourages me to do sensible exercise in the form of gardening, walking and cycling.

Answer 6

No, it's not going to happen. We've gone through MUCH more severe climate change, and come through just fine. Further, warming trends have tended to benefit humanity not threaten its existence.

Despite what the "Chicken Little" types are telling you.. you CANNOT use a few decades of partial data to figure out BILLIONS of years of climate change.

Answer 7

No, not going to happen, at least not for about 1,000,000,000 at which point the Sun will expand and swallow the Earth and give us real global warming.

Answer 8

The big thing is when geo-thermal runs out and the atmosphere evaporates. It's far more dangerous than global warming.

I am storing hundreds of scuba tanks so that I am ready.

Answer 9

No.If you are born you will die,you have no control over what and in which why you will die.Dead is dead does it matter?You may die in a tornado,earthquake,flood,volancic euptuation,tsumani,metor hurricane,all natural diasters.Or you may slip and fall in your own bathtub,survive that and die of a steph infection in the hospital either way you will be just as dead.It silly and stupid to worry about it.
