Weather systems are driven by heat. Eg a cyclone can only form if the sea temperature is above 27C. The hotter it is, the more the sea evaporates and the more humid it is, causing more storms. Wind is driven by temperature differences, and because the poles are not affected by global warming as much as the equator, the winds have to move more heat from the equator to the poles causing more winds. So global warming causes more storms and higher winds.

It is believed that the global mean temperature may rise by 2 degree celcius and sea level by half metre by 2100 A.D.Regional temperature changes may differ substantially from the global mean.Deserts are expected to be hotter.There will be changes in the amount,frequency and intensity of rainfall causing floods in some places and droughts in some other places.There are likely to be some adverse effects on human health partly because of increased heat stress and partly because of infectious diseases.
Cities are likely to be more affected because of the increase in the levels of the greenhouse gases in the air immediately above the cities.Greenhouse gases are supposed to contribute more to the global warming.It is estimated that a city of one million people generates 25000 tons of carbon dioxide(an important greenhouse gas) every day.So, they have to face more frequent and more intense heat waves.Several cities situated in coastal regions will be at direct risk from rising sea level.Polar ice caps will melt rising the sea level and changing the climate of polar regions.
These are the some important possibilities likely to be brought out by Global Warming.

An increase in global temperatures is expected to cause the sea level to rise, increase the intensity of extreme weather events and change the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.

Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the sun (orbital forcing volcanic eruptions, and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus identifies elevated levels of greenhouse gases due to human activity as the main influence. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available. In contrast to the scientific consensus that recent warming is mainly attributable to elevated levels of greenhouse gases, other hypotheses have been suggested to explain the observed increase in mean global temperature. One such hypothesis proposes that warming may be the result of variations in solar activity

There is no global warming...It's called climate change and occurs naturally without any help from us. In a million years Earth will be in an ice age...again.
Weather is a natural phenomon.

worldwide warming in many situations makes earth's temperatures larger over some a protracted time. yet this doesnt advise the climate won't be able to be inconsistent for a pair of years. in spite of in case you sense its getting chillier, those temperatures are probably nonetheless larger than they was for the time of chilly spells over the final couple of centuries.

um it affect the south and north pole by melting the ice caps and the ocean keeps getting bigger hurricanes,tsunamis,many other stuff to

Affect not Effect.

Affect is the verb. Effect is the noun.

Sheesh.
