How bad is global warming getting?

Answer 1

Global (one city at a time) CO2 contributions are [on a daily basis] ubiquitous. The projections are getting worse. People are already dying during heat waves and several countries in East Africa have millions affected by drought and famine.

Answer 2

At its worst, assuming we do nothing to alleviate the effect, global warming could result in disastrous economic consequences and dramatic loss of species on the earth. Fortunately for me, this outcome is not likely within my own lifetime, although I fear for the position of my grandchildren.

Those of us who are past childhood and early adulthood probably have less to fear from the consequences of global warming and can focus on the short-term economic advantages of doing nothing. This is why the higher forecasts for global warming and its effects are probably more realistic. We should therefore expect significant rises in sea levels, which along with increased storm surges will result in inundation of important coastal regions and even the displacement of entire populations. There is a real possibility that arctic Siberia could warm to the extent of melting the tundra, which sequesters enormous amounts of carbon in frozen vegetation. Once this melts it will rot, emitting enough carbon dioxide to lead to uncontrolled, runaway global warming. If this ever happens, as well it might, humans wil be entirely unable to prevent catastrophic changes.

Even in a best-case scenario, based on urgent and decisive government action, global average temperatures will continue to rise through most of this century, accompanied by rising sea levels, more prolonged droughts, more frequent severe floods and intense storms.

Answer 3

Well, you know global warming is bad, and it can get allot worse as time passes. It is not that bad right now.

Answer 4

we only loss a foot a thousand years and by then i know we will be smarter and able to save the environment cheaply its not so bad actually.
