Why is global warming cold?
Global warming is not cold, as it (if it really exists) causes to temps around the world to increase. There was no doubt that the earth went through a period of warming, but now this seems to have reversed itself over the last 17 years. Many areas are experiencing some of the coldest winter temps in decades this year.
How do polar bears survive global warming and survive?
The polar bear probably could not survive for long if the ice cap completely melted. The good news is that the ice is returning, and global temps are cooling. now go to your desk Ashley Shultz from miss miesen's class 4 grade from orion
How has global warming affected the hurricane?
Global warming is adding heat to the atmosphere and oceans. Heat is energy, so this energy is used to power bigger and stronger "weather events"!The following are opinions on the affect of global warming on hurricanes:Global Warming Causes More HurricanesIt could be that the tropical oceans will become warmer with a simultaneous decrease in upper atmosphere temperature, which will cause stronger convection, which will help tropical storms to become more organized and stronger so there will be stronger hurricanes.Global Warming Causes Less HurricanesIt is not just warm water which causes hurricanes. It is the temperature difference between the ocean surface and the upper atmosphere. The higher that temperature difference, the more hurricanes will form, and the stronger they will be. Global warming models all agree that the temperatures will rise more in the upper atmosphere than at the surface. Since the upper atmosphere is cooler than the ocean surface, this means that the temperature difference will become smaller. Therefore, fewer hurricanes. And less intense hurricanes.(Note, the above discussion is based on the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming. If the warming were natural, it would not necessarily be true that the upper atmosphere warmed more than the surface. In fact if the warming were natural, most likely, the surface would warm more than the upper atmosphere. Therefore, if there were more hurricanes, or more intense hurricanes, that would be evidence that the warming we are experiencing is, in fact, natural.)This representation of the surface/upper troposphere temperature differential as a distinction between natural and anthropogenic global warming is a false dichotomy, especially when some of the warming (i.e., height of the tropopause rising) is due to changes in stratospheric ozone cooling the lower stratosphere. But anyway, the current discussion on hurricanes and global warming is centered on whether increases in sea surface temperature will be more rapid than upper tropospheric warming. Of course, it is far more complicated than just delta T, and you need to incorporate changes in lapse rates throughout the atmosphere as well as how this translates into the height of cloud tops. Shen et al. (see related link for discussion) found that the increase in upper tropospheric temperature would need to be more than double the rise in ocean temperature to cancel its effects.The official studiesNew data analysis has shown a direct relation between Atlantic Ocean Warming and stronger hurricanes. Scientists funded by the National Science Foundation, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North Carolina, reported the finding of strong links between global warming and extreme weather conditions as hurricanes.The energy of a hurricane derives from rising hot air, which sucks in more air underneath it, which causes wind. Global warming causes more air to be more heated.The theory is that these storms are created by warm air over cooler water. This effectively becomes a water pump pushing large volumes of water into the atmosphere. If the Oceans were cooling and the atmosphere itself were warming, then this difference would create a larger and faster water pump.To date, there is no evidence of this situation happening. Storms have not increased in size or frequency since 1850. In fact the levels may be slightly down in terms of overall days of storms.The idea that storms could increase should global warming start to occur is also questionable as the water pump action requires a large difference between air and water temps. If global warming is to occur, most climate experts claim we would start seeing this in our oceans first, as they tend to mirror the overall temp of the atmosphere.If this is the case, storms could decrease in size and strength. There is some inconclusive evidence of this situation occurring.Neither is easy to prove as the temps have not really changed since we were first able to start observing the entire planet in 1979. The entire satellite history is 40 years old and 25% of the data shows cooler trends since 1998.
What will probably happen in the us if temperature continue to rise?
Currently, the lower 48 states are in the grip of the coldest winter in decades. If the temps rose, we may get back to normal. However, if temps rose much above normal, drought plagued areas could become dust bowls, and precipitation could destroy crops in flood prone areas. But, there has been no measurable warming in 17 years.
Why do public disagree with global warming?
Some people disagree with the idea of global warming because they think this is just a "scientist scam." But our world is the evident of global warming. Many people already died because of frequent floods, earthquakes and tsunami incidents caused by this environmental depletion. _________________________________________________________________ Earthquakes have nothing to do with global warming, nor any deaths worldwide. The current belief is that since the high temps of 1938, we have managed to gain 0.1 degree. Tsunami's, earthquakes and floods are all bad things, but no science based group blames them on global warming. As a matter of fact, most science based groups state there are positives that would happen should the planet start to warm again. The concept currently being espoused is predominantly political in nature. Most climate experts believe we could be reaching a tipping point. This is different then having a current issue. Take note of what people say before you believe them. For example, polar bears are still growing in numbers. If you see some movie or clip saying something else, question their honesty. You will find a great deal of the science community is up in arms about the foolishness being used by politicians to push agendas.
Why seahorse going extinct?
global warming causes the sea to become higher temperatures, which are not suited for seahorses as they only live in certain temperatures, as well as more pollution and harmful substances. There is absolutely no evidence that global warming is warmiing the ocean's temps at all.
What are your claims that global warming is happening?
glaciers are melting,sea level is rising,temps are up

Why do female sea turtles overpopulate the male sea turtles?
Because of increasing global temperatures more females have hatched. More males hatch in cooler temps. but global warming is preventing that.
Is global warming a legitimate problem?
There are quite a few people in the world who believe that Global Warming is indeed a legitimate problem. These people have followed scientific evidence. Another answer: There are also many who believe it isn't, including many top scientists. Example: The is no correlation of temps and co2 in the atmosphere, as claimed by alarmists. There has been no warming at all since the late 90's.

Why is land changing?
Due to global warming more warm air is rising and more cold air is sinking eroding soil. Warmer temps are making currents change courses and are sending heat and erosion to places that don't need it
What are the high and low temps for the Tropical ocean?
110-30
What happens to pressure at different temperatures?
Pressure (such as air in a balloon) can increase with higher temps and decrease with lower temps.
What layer of the atmosphere has lower temps the higher you go?
That is the ionosphere.
What will happen at the end of global warming?
"After global warming ...?" If global warming stopped now, there is still enough carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere to warm the earth by one or two degrees Celsius more than now. Life will be very uncomfortable then and many people will have died. If global warming stopped now, it would mean that we have stopped burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and are managing on renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro etc). But global warming will continue until we move entirely to renewable energy, and that won't happen for a few years yet. Why not? Ask business and government why we haven't moved.
How would the increase of C02 will affect the atmosphere?
It would depend on the manner of animals and the amount of increase. Generally speaking, the bigger the animal, the more carbon dioxide they will produce.
