  • If global warming continues, a whole host of bad things will present themselves, including:

    1)Shorelines will flood--Florida will be completely under water.

    2)We will run out of fossil fuels (the only way for human made global warming is burning them), and wars will result.

    3)Worse storms will kill more people and do more damage.

    4)Flooding will cause people to move farther inland, causing land strain

    5)Since global warming heats the poles most, more land will be exposed for farming, but this will kill off species.

    6)In our desperater search for more fossil fuels, we will destroy a lot of land, like what people have done while mining the oil sands in Canada--the devestation of forest land is very bad

    7)global warming will cause droughts in some places, causing famine.

    8)Some people theorize, although i do not completely agree with it, that when the world heats up enough, currents will change, causing massive cooling

    And those are just a few of the many problems cause by global warming. 0% 0 Votes

    We only have concrete evidence from he past few hundred years or so, which is not enough to make conclusions. Based on the charts from the past 200 years or so, yes, the climate has steadily gone up. So are we assuming in previous years the climate was lower? and lower? and lower? and.... then what? The earth is BILLIONS of years old. Not 200. Just because the temperature has gone up in the past couple hundred years is not enough to conclude that it will continue rising and that this is not normal. It IS normal. The climate goes in cycles.

    Imagine if it was 60 degrees one day in July and I said, %26quot;Oh, It%26#039;s a cold summer.%26quot; You would tell me I was being ridiculous, because that was only one day or the entire summer. It is the same concept. You are making your judgments based on only a small fraction of the time earth has been around.

    Oh, and by the way, here%26#039;s the past 20 years:

  • 1) You mean resumes.

    2) What would happen? Probably the same things that happened last time. Severe droughts in eastern Africa and the American Southwest, longer growing seasons in temperate zones, etc... 0% 0 Votes
  • Nothing, as global warming stopped in 1998.

    We%26#039;re now in a global cooling period. 22% 2 Votes
