What are the effects of rising temperatures?

Answer 1

Sea level rise.

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide has an atomic weight of 44.0095 amu. 79% of Earth's air is nitrogen, weighing 14.00674 amu. That covers a very, very big and thick area. Carbon, being heavier than nitrogen, can't even go above that layer of nitrogen to the ozone! Therefore, the carbon can't get to the ozone, being among Nitrogen, to harm it. Plus, many people say that the carbon reflects light that bounced off earth back down to Earth. But it's not like it's a one way window! It reflects in both directions, proving as much a help as harm. This neutralizes its "bad" effects. The same goes for the ozone. It doesn't just bounce light off, in traps it too. This shows that the ozone does as much a harm as a help, so having less of it doesn't make a difference. Holes in the ozone? Or natural sunspots? You choose what to believe.

Did you know that only about a hundred years ago we experienced a miniture ice age? Between 1800-1900 our sunspots on Earth had dramatically decreased. Earths internal temperature had also decreased by 10% compared to previous records. There never was a "normal" average temperature since they seem to constantly be falling and rising, but now they are rising. In spite of this, we still aren't much warmer than around 1600. So are we actually hotter than usual or just warming up from our mini ice age? Still, people insist on blaming themselves instead of nature just because that's what the scientists and professionals say. If you look at graphs, they will only show you temperatures from the last hundred years, but nothing before that! And who's to say temperature isn't coming from the internal temperature of Earth, instead of the sunspots?

Another interesting fact is that about when global warming ideas were introduced, oil came into play. Cars were made in 1885 first by Kerl Benz, which at the time were named "motor wagons". 40 years later cars started to really be used on a large scale. Only 40 years after that, global warming was announced to be in effect. Only 40 years of automobiles used on a large scale. And at this time, most of the world wasn't in their best time period, so many people couldn't afford cars. Most people had only one if they were rich. That is nothing near how many there are are today. Surely, if it took forty years only for maybe only a few million cars to have a big enough impact to be noticed, than the billions that we have today should have an extreme impact. Yet, there has been the same acceleration of warming, even with all of our cars, trains, planes, boats, helicopters, power plants, and everything else that use gas. Sure, we have more advanced and more "clean" technology, but the numbers of what we have are just too large to actually make a slower acceleration. Yet we keep on the same speed.

If you ask me why we have been told this, I find the government to blame. It would be a very simple yet effective plot they could use. The cause: money. Gas prices were getting high and lower population from the gases emitted from cars. This lowers both tax income from residents and uses money to buy gas. If they simply corrupt scientists into believing global warming is true and supply them with the bad side of things rather than good, those scientists can publish global warming in effect and people would believe them. If you think about it, no one ever really judges professionals or scientists, even if the theories don't make sense. If the public believes that they NEED to stop global warming, there will be more striving towards inventions lessening gas usage, and in turn the prices. Also, more efficiency and less pollution detracts less people than more pollution. In other words, the government can increase tax income (more potential residents) and spend less money importing gas. You may be sitting here thinking that they aren't possibly that devious. But we only choose our president and governers. It isn't us choosing the rest and who's to say what they are like? And you must notice that there are more than one just one person in the government. there are many, and with combined brains, can figure this out.

Answer 3

A rise in global temperature could have many potential effects on the environment. For example, a rise in sea level is predicted due to the melting of the glaciers. This could effect not only animals that inhabit glacial areas such as the polar bear, but also humans since many people live close to the sea, and the glaciers also provide an essential source of fresh water. A cycle is also predicted to develop because higher temperatures will evaporate more water which will trap more UV rays which will again lead to higher temperatures.

Answer 4

• Rising sea levels
• Loss of coastal crop lands
• Melting of sea ice and ice caps
• Extinction of many species
• Famine and death
• Climate refugees and mass migration
• Wars over water supplies
• Economic disasters for many countries
