How does global warming damage the world?

Answer 1

In a lot of ways:

Rising sea level and losing the coastline, with intensely populated cities. Changing ecosystems, changing agriculture, losing crops because of drought, more extreme weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc), heat waves . And this is just the tip of the iceberg (except there won't be any more icebergs).

Answer 2

Yes it is happening because the more you pollut this earth when it rains the water soaks up the bacteria and acid! Then when evaportion occurs the bacteria and acid is soaked up with the water burning wholes in our atmosphere and ozone layer and when the ozone layer is gone we will BURN!

your minds.....

Global Warming is not happening.I do not care what other people say it isn't.

Answer 3

The greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide exists naturally and maintains the world's temperature at a comfortable level. However an increased greenhouse effect, resulting from human activity, is predicted to result in global warming and climate change.

Global warming sound so benign. Who would not want warmer winters and balmy summer days? But the long-term global trend to higher average temperatures poses a real risk to our economic and social well-being, as well as to the native creatures with which we share the planet.

Climate change is causing sea levels to rise. Not by much so far, but this is only the start. Higher sea levels, combined with the greater storm surges associated with climate change, will force people to abandon some prestige coastal properties. The inundation of New Orleans should have been a wake-up call, but many see this as a special case with no relevance elsewhere. Rich agricultural coastal flood plains will become salinated and unproductive.

Floods will become more frequent and more severe in some areas, while droughts will similarly become more frequent and more severe in others. Analysis of hurricane activity shows that severe hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more destructive, as a result of increased atmospheric thermal energy. Frequent storm damage to properties will cause insurance premiums to rise until some can no longer even afford to insure their houses.

Wildlife will suffer from loss of appropriate habitat and from heat stress. Some corals will die back as sea levels rise and they no longer receive sufficient sunlight, while others will be bleached by the rising temperatures and acidity.

Average global temperatures are already the warmest they have been for at least two thousand years, noticeably warmer than the Medieval Warm Period, and possibly the warmest for the last million years. As temperatures continue to rise, we move into unchartered territory.
