Global warming help? I am in eight grade and I am doing an essay on global warming in my english class.

I need to know how global warming effects seasons, and the relationship seasons have with animal life and vegetation.

I really need a detailed answer, that is also easy to understand! and what consequences it has on the seaons.

Thank you!! I will give best answer for the answer i like best!

The global warming models predict that the rain bands on the globe will move in either a northerly direction or a southerly direction depending on your location on the globe. This will cause changes in the types of vegetation that can survive depending on their moisture requirements. This will also cause a change in the entire ecosystem of each local area affected by the changes. Wildlife as well as humans will have trouble adapting to some of the changes because of crop failure and evasive species of insects and animals migrating to adapt to the climate change.

That is a brief summary of my understanding of some of the predictions. 67% 2 Votes

• The natural warming we are experiencing in general will make winters less extreme and reduce the number of really cold nights. In general, it will make the seasons very pleasant. 0% 0 Votes
• A Detailed answer to this question is not possible, because the experiment of how humans are affecting the climate is still under way. The outcome is uncertain as to the speed of changes that will occur.
  
  From what i have learned is that the colder seasons are already showing trends of becoming shorter. The affects of this on plants and animals is uncertain at best. At worse it will affect there ability to find food they have evolved over millions of years to consume, the reason for this is that as seasons change the food or materials they would naturally consume may not be available. Any change in food supply may affect reproduction and even the very existence of some creatures. Since each species has evolved to find its own neche of existence, each animal or plant must be looked at seperately. Add to this the fact creatures exist in symbiotic relationships, thenit must be expected that changes to one creature will affect a host of ther creatures. It is very much like a house of cards. It is very difficult to say how each species may find a way to adapt to changes, depending on how fast environment changes may occur.
  
  The oceans may be affected by small changes in acidity and temperature that micro-organisms ( the bottom of the oceanic food chain) may find it impossible to exist. Some micro-organisms can only exist within a 3% acidity range.
  The problem with a detailed answer is that bio-diversity on our earth is very complex and is interdependent to the extent that even the most powerfull computers cant make predictions at this time.
  
  I beleive that changes in local seasonal climates will not be as significant as the changes to climatic zones, ie the bands of climate zones expanding and moving around the globe. This is very difficult to predict, but the theory is that the equatorial zone will expand and push all the other zones north and south. This would have a devastating affect on all animal and plant life as these organisms would have to adapt to living in environments that they simply had not evolved to survive in.
  
  The affect of climatic zone changes in conjunction with ocean current changes is impossible to calculate at this time.
  
  Surely it is best not to run the experiment ie humans pumping billions of tons of co2 into the atmosphere (until we completeley understand the risks of what we might change). For the first time in the history of the earth there is a species that through its technology is changing the chemical balance of the earth, Humans have only been doing this on a massive systematic scale for the past 100 years so it is early days. But changes do seem to be occuring as a result of our activities. We as a species need to find a way to pause and completeley analyse our affects on the globe (if its not too late). The natural american indians thought that the white man was insane at the way he lived. Maybe they were right. I for one have radically changed the way me and my children live for several years now.
