Which region does global warming effect the most?

• The arctic regions will easily be most effected by global warming because they actually warm the fastest compared to anywhere else in the world. Even a rise by a degree or two could cause a massive melt down of the polar ice caps, and in a worst case scenario would raise sea levels by 20 feet or more. Obviously this would have a dramatic effect on low lying island nations.
  
  However it is difficult to predict what effect global warming will have on other areas. Many people assume that already dry and hot areas will just get drier and hotter. However that may not always be the case. There is a sister force to global warming called global dimming. This force is caused by clouds which reflect a portion of the suns rays (thus causing a small decrease in the amount of solar energy to reach the surface). These are human caused however because water (which normally condensates on a limited amount of dust and pollen in the air) condensates on airborn pollutants (like the black smoke released in car exhaust). Because there is so much more dust and soot in the air for water molecules to attach too, their tends to be a lot of small light droplets (which would appear to be light wispy clouds) as opposed to fewer heavy droplets (which would appear as rain clouds). Because of this areas that get a lot of rain could soon just get a lot of light clouds that bring no rain (leading to droughts) and places that get very little rain could soon be flooded.
