What are the effects of continous heating of the environment or what we call the Global Warming??

Answer 1

Some scientist believe we're going to see temperatures exceeding 450 degrees, and it will be raining sulfur!

That prediction was made by Dr. Stephen Hawkins. No one is as smart as he is, so he must be right.

I hope you have your air conditioner tuned up!

Answer 2

"During the Medieval Warm Period (or Medieval Climatic Optimum), from about 900 to 1300 AD, the earth was up to 3°C warmer than today. This made it possible for the Vikings to colonize Greenland and Newfoundland. The forest boundary in Canada reached 130 km further north than today, and in Poland, England, and Scotland vineyards flourished. The warmer climate brought a flowering of prosperity, knowledge, and art to Europe. Agricultural yields increased, marshes and swamps dried up, removing breeding grounds for mosquitoes that spread malaria, and wetlands were turned into productive farmland. In general, civilization has tended to flourish during warm periods, while cold periods have brought more drought, famine, disease, and wars. "

Every species on the planet is temperature sensitive and as the globe heats up either naturally or otherwise, we evolve, adapt or become extinct.

Ask a marine biologist of the effects of the oceans warming, it impacts everything in the ocean. Ask a meteorologist what increased temperature does to weather, hurricanes, droughts, floods. Ask the farmers that feed us what happens in droughts or floods.

I participate in work on salmon spawning because fish are temperature sensitive and will die if that temperature is exceeded. Ask biologists what that would mean to lose fish and the eco system associated with?

Jello is right in his comments about raining sulphur or acid rain. Humans are using air conditioning to react to warmer indoor temperatures. That requires generating gigawatts of electricity and to accomplish this we burn coal because it is cheaper. Coal burns dirty and goes up into the air eventually raining down as acid rain. The EPA just sued a utility provider for doing just that in the NE states.

Acid rain doesn't seem like a big deal except it is getting in our water, food and air. Humans are designed for the toxins and it means health challenges. Go to http://www.thermoguy.com and scroll down to the picture of the fetus. Click on the study showing a 100% toxicity ratio in newborns and thay don't have an immune system. Humans are having reproductive problems and what happens when a species can't reproduce anymore?

Every law in the land specifies sustainability which means not impacting the future of others with what we do today. So we try to live within the environment that sustains all life.

The global warming science was missing because we have to isolate sources of man made heat. It is that simple, if we put heaters in your room, what happens? The room heats up.

All the scientists advising government consider temperature in their education except it is done in a calculator because we can't see it. Go to http://www.thermoguy.com/globalwarming-heatgain.html and see what was missing regarding development, buildings and urban heat generation. We couldn't qualify the heat generated nor the fact that an exterior coat of paint could change a building.

Hard to believe that the entire building industry or development uses a calculator and is assumed compliant, then insured. California had heat waves this year where they were knocked off the grid because of the air conditioning electrical load. Air conditioning is in fact refrigeration which depletes the ozone as reported by 191 countries in the Montreal Protocol.

Imagine that, California can't see the UV impact which is causing there buildings to generate extreme heat. The indoor heat symptom is treated with ozone depleting refrigeration. The 191 countries say the refrigerants deplete the ozone, increasing UV which will be treated with refrigeration, massive GHG emissions, mercury, toxins in our food, acid rain...Jello may be right on today because more ozone depletion and more intense UV means buildings will exceed boiling temperature, more atmospheric heat gain and the potential to heat up a couple of hundred degrees.

Policy advisors can't do effective policy without the science and as you will see at the link, we could reduce emissions immediately and not lose a job. Paint your building with a low e finish...the shade of a trees or vines, etc can eliminates air conditioning with zero emissions.

Answer 4

In the 50's and 60's, the problem was global cooling! It will cycle back around, so we need not worry so hard. Summertime sees temperatures rising, but with the change of seasons, it cools again. It's just a cycle, even if Al Gore is overly anxious about spring turning to summer!

Answer 5

The polar ice caps will melt much more and consequently the sea level will rise. Perhaps a lot wetter in places and a lot dryer in other areas. Populations will move to more stable regions causing obvious problems.

This is all what they are saying though, do you trust 'em?.

Answer 6

one of its effect is the melting of the ice caps in arctic and antarctic which will cause the rising of the sea level.If this happen, surely places near the shore would lose some of its area. more worst is the disappearance of some islands. due to this the map will be affected, the living of the people are affected and most of all ,this can be a great threat to properties and to human lives.

so dont let this happen, lets help mother earth even in just our own simple ways...

start with your self....avoid cfc's....

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

Wait 5 minutes, it will be cooling again.
