Disadvantages of Global Warming

* Ocean circulation disrupted, disrupting and having unknown effects on world climate.
* Higher sea level leading to flooding of low-lying lands and deaths and disease from flood and evacuation.
* Deserts get drier leaving to increased desertification.
* Changes to agricultural production that can lead to food shortages.
* Water shortages in already water-scarce areas.
* Starvation, malnutrition, and increased deaths due to food and crop shortages.
* More extreme weather and an increased frequency of severe and catastrophic storms.
* Increased disease in humans and animals.
* Increased deaths from heat waves.
* Extinction of additional species of animals and plants.
* Loss of animal and plant habitats.
* Increased emigration of those from poorer or low-lying countries to wealthier or higher countries seeking better (or non-deadly) conditions.
* Additional use of energy resources for cooling needs.
* Increased air pollution.
* Increased allergy and asthma rates due to earlier blooming of plants.
* Melt of permafrost leads to destruction of structures, landslides, and avalanches.
* Permanent loss of glaciers and ice sheets.
* Cultural or heritage sites destroyed faster due to increased extremes.
* Increased acidity of rainfall.
* Earlier drying of forests leading to increased forest fires in size and intensity.
* Increased cost of insurance as insurers pay out more claims resulting from increasingly large disasters.

Advantages of Global Warming

* Arctic, Antarctic, Siberia, and other frozen regions of earth may experience more plant growth and milder climates.
* Northwest Passage through Canada%26#039;s formerly-icy north opens up to sea transportation.
* Less need for energy consumption to warm cold places.
* Fewer deaths or injuries due to cold weather.
* Longer growing seasons could mean increased agricultural production in some local areas.
* Mountains increase in height due to melting glaciers, becoming higher as they rebound against the missing weight of the ice. 0% 0 Votes
