Is global warming going to destroy earth?

Answer 1

We don't know for sure, but it may eventually kill us.

Answer 2

It won't destroy the earth, but it could certainly end civilization as we know it, that is if we don't seriously decrease the CO2 being released into the atmosphere and stop deforestation.

A:yes because there are going to be alot of problems with the earth. A:NO! The Earth is currently very cold. We have polar ice caps which is quite unusual for the Earth. For most of geologic time the Earth has not had ice caps. (The Earth is currently very cold because of weathering of the mountains - the planet is about as mountainous as it has ever been.) A:Technically speaking, the Earth is in an ice age, and it has been for 30 million years or so. Currently we are in an interglacial. The ice ebbs and flows to and from the poles according to an instability in the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. The ice retreated about 12,000 years ago and will start advancing in the near future (2000 - 4000 years time). The glacial periods last for 120,000 years or so.

Excess carbon dioxide is blamed for the global warming crisis we may experience in the near future. However, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about as low as it has ever been (over the whole of geologic time). If we enhance the carbon dioxide concentration we will just return the planet's atmosphere to a state it was in over 100 million years ago. As we know, the planet was not dead then.

Excess carbon dioxide is not stable in the Earth's atmosphere. It dissolves in water vapor, falls as acidic rain, and ends up in the oceans. There it is used by some plankton species to make shells. Ultimately it ends up as chalk and limestone. It will take some 25000 for all the excess carbon dioxide to rain out. Then it will be like global warming had never happened.

A:The problem about global warming is not about harming the planet, but rather about destroying human civilization. We are a species which evolved in a cold world. We cannot survive easily in a hot world. For example, wheat will only grow well in temperate climates and most big cities are on the coast. This means in a hot world, food will be become scarcer and there will be significant human migration.

Answer 3

In England for example it is set to be completely flooded (there will be no more England) in approximately a hundred years - drown

In other places too hot for food to grow, evaporation of water - starvation

Other places temperature will drop dramatically- freeze to death

It depends where you are really do all you can to help save your future decedents!

I hope this helped. I'm not an expert but I know what global warming can do!!

Not only that,

but almost 500 people die everyday because of the amount of toxins in the air.

hurricanes & tornadoes will become much stronger because of cold and hot fronts clashing together, since its colder in the winter and hotter in the summer its very dangerous.

yet again not only that, storms will intensify (e.g in august - September 2010 a city in Ontario Canada was struck by lighting about 120 times in 1 day that means that u had at-least 20% chance of being near the next lighting strike to hit that area)

if u want anyone to blame... well umm id suggest starting with the government or our top pollution contributor in the world United States of America

what i would suggest to keep us alive for at-least another 1000 years would be

The Electric Car : all of these corporate schemes just for money seriously people its just paper or now a days a few numbers online i know it can get you a lot of things its all greed. the electric car would have stopped over a rough estimate of 40% of worlds toxic emissions that's like another 300 years before its to late

the hydro car: i don't know much about it but i wont mind a car that works on water any-day maybe the oil companies wont have to change so much with this condition you will still need oil for that car id like the idea of water stations =D!

soon you will see it in the air, drink it in the water, die breathing it.

Answer 4

Scientists are reluctant to claim that any storm or weather event is definitely caused by global warming, but there is certainly evidence of

• increased instances of catastrophic weather events (floods, tornadoes, cyclones)
• starvation and malnutrition due to loss of crops from these weather events
• spread of tropical diseases due to expanding tropical regions
• increased humidity in the air due to warmer oceans can cause major snow events
• thousands of deaths from unusual heat waves.

Answer 5

The earth can manage being much hotter than now, yes, but life on earth can not. If global warming continues, then all life on earth will be wiped out.

Answer 6

The UK Chief Scientist, when asked about the chance of the human race lasting beyond 2100, replied "50:50!"

Answer 7

No. The earth can deal with much hotter temperatures. Human and animal life is another matter. If global warming does not stop all life on earth will end.
