Question

I read this article on Yahoo News:

And like pretty much everyone who has a computer or watches TV, know all about the hype regarding changes in weather patterns and stuff. Yes, there are "signs" now. But are these mass sufferings due any time during this century? When will it be too unbearable to live a normal life?

Answer 1

I think the first person is pretty accurate, although I think places like California and Florida may be affected as soon as 20 years. Maybe some other coastal areas as well. Already there are so many sink holes in FL that land is basically falling apart. Cali is burning up as we speak and I'm not sure what will happen there...no one is really. It is just very sad but I am glad I never had children to worry about.

Answer 2

In about 4 billion years or so, when the sun starts turning into a red giant and its surface passes the orbit of Mars. Global Warming is the biggest scam the world has seen. It is all about getting the United States to pay for other countries poorly ran governments. It has nothing to do with climate but everything to do with $$. Just ask Al Gore. He made a slide show of lies and facts taken out of context. Then continues running around with a HUGE 'carbon footprint' demanding that all the little people out there do their part.

Answer 3

Global warming stopped in 1998. The earth's average temperature has not changed since 1998. As the sun passes the maximum point in its solar cycles, the earth will begin to cool again.

The world's oceans are not rising and will NEVER rise. First, when ice melts it SHRINKS -- not grows. The same amount of ice turned into water takes up LESS space. Second, take a look at a globe. The size of the oceans is gigantic. If you melted 100% of the ice on the planet Earth, the ocean might rise 0.0000001 inches. Third, as the Earth warms, more water evaporates into the atmosphere. Moisture air means MORE snow at the poles, not less.

Try boiling water on your stove in winter and then go look at the cold windows. The water from the stove will end up on your cold windows. The same thing happens to the Earth. Water vapor hits the colder polar regions and falls as snow, rain, and sleet (ice).

Answer 4

no longer entirely maximum suitable. human beings knew approximately worldwide warming long in the previous An Inconvenient fact became launched. there became this action/experience sketch that got here out 18 years in the past pronounced as Captain Planet and the Planeteers who became coaching little ones the hazards in pollution and the advantages of recycling and so on. yet trashing Al Gore is probable because of the fact they do no longer prefer to have faith in an mind-blowing declare including worldwide warming and climate replace. in basic terms as there are people who refuse to have faith that humanity landed on the moon, regardless of the irrefutable evidence. a sprint difficulty pronounced as denial and use what ever little bit of evidence they might discover to denounce it. take a seem at Tim Patterson, paleoclimatologist and Professor of Geology at Carleton college in Canada He claims that because of the fact that that 480 million years in the past, CO2 tiers have been plenty greater than they are at present, however the Earth became plenty cooler. yet did he evaluate the prospect that there would have been a violent volcanic interest or an asteroid effect at that element? the two you may nevertheless no longer in basic terms develop CO2 tiers, yet additionally advance tonnes of dirt and smoke into the ambience that it would block the sunlight and forestall sunlight from heating the Earth. no longer in basic terms denial, yet chosen to forget approximately with reference to the problem reason it interferes with their "every day luxary." Like applying without a 2nd concept, rapid ingredients, enjoying loud stereos, or perhaps enjoying on the laptop, like what we are doing now.

Answer 5

Global warming is effecting us as we speak 1,700 dead in Asia because of massive flooding that is getting worst ever year. Today the UN released a report that there is enough Carbon in the Air to make sea levels rise 5 ft in 10 years. The people who are warning us about global warming are wrong most of the time. But they are wrong in the way that Global warming is happening faster then they first thought it would. In 20 years 1 billion people will be displaced around the world. You maybe one of them.

look there. Its to late

Answer 6

It will never be to unbearable for normal life. Never. The mass sufferings are highly speculative and will not occur. Just like the projected mass starvation that was predicted to be occur by 1980 due to the population explosion never happened.

Answer 7

Global Warming will come to affect in 60 - 70 years. Maybe 50. There is some ways to protect ourselves when that happens. GO WEST! We will build houses on the rocky mountains.

Answer 8

I say it is affecting us now.Cant you see how intensely hot our summers are getting and the poles are have this huge ice melt down.Global warming is already affecting us,what you should ask now is how much the effects of global warming will increase.

Answer 9

It says in 50 years... there will be countries flooded, many people will die. It will start in the neatherlands... It's VERY scary!! That's why we have to start preventing it now.. Here is a site to cheak out... http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0203-04.htm

Answer 10

About 2040 if we don't change at all.
