Global warming has affected the weather in several ways:
Global warming, at its most simplistic, simply results in hotter weather. The difference over the entire twentieth century is only 0.75 degrees Celsius, an apparently small increment, but what is really happening tends to be a slightly higher number of very hot days in some areas. Moreover, local effects can mean that certain areas suffer from periods of unprecedented heatwave. For example, Moscow, renowned for its cold weather, recently experienced a long period with temperatures over 40 degrees C (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Changing patterns to wind and ocean currents can result in the freezing winters recently experienced in the United States or, at worst, moving the Gulf Stream away from the United Kingdom a dire effect which, if it occurs, would lower the temperature of the British Isles dramatically, with devastating consequences. So global warming can mean local cooling, at least on an occasional or random basis.
We have already begun to experience more frequent severe hurricanes, and can probably add tornadoes to that.
Some areas will experience more frequent severe flooding, while other areas will experience severe and prolonged droughts. The Arctic sea ice is expected soon to melt entirely during summer months. Rising sea levels and more powerful storm surges will devastate some communities along the coasts and in low-lying areas.
A: Actual data points to the fact that Level 5 Hurricanes have decreased in numbers over the past several decades.
As a matter of fact, recent data of total storm intensity (ACE) is showing an overall downward trend to the lowest levels overall since 1977. ACE is the convolution or combination of a storm's intensity and longevity. Put simply, a long-lived very powerful Category 3 hurricane may have more than 100 times the ACE of a weaker tropical storm that lasts for less than a day. Over a season or calendar year, all individual storm ACE is added up to produce the overall seasonal or yearly ACE. Detailed tables of previous monthly and yearly ACE. These were found on the Florida State Website.
The issue we have with pre 1979 data is summed up by A journal of Science writer, Landsea:
"Extreme hurricanes like Katrina were likely as common around the world 30 years ago as they are today, Landsea says. But since satellite imagery was poorer, storm intensities were underreported."
A: Global warming changes the climate because of the way the earth is warming, therefore creating water temperatures to also rise, and changing weather, with really bad storms.
The consequences of global warming, which we are now seeing, include the melting and disappearance of most of the world's glaciers, a rising sea level (which so far has only risen a small amount, although some low-lying islands have been adversely affected) and increasingly extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and storms. Climate zones are shifting, as well. The tree line in the Arctic creeps north.
Global warming has a major influence on the weather. Specifically, it can make the weather far more severe than usual, causing extensive rainfall and more powerful hurricanes.
that i can cause tornadoes and also can cause hurricanes depends really where you live.
the glaciers are melting!
Global Warming
It is global warming. It is NOT the earth getting closer to the sun.
All planets experience climate change (warmer and cooler) due to fluctuations in sun output, changes in the planets distance to the sun and rate/tilt of rotation. global warming typically refers to human induced global warming and therefore only earth is influenced.
Global warming is happening everywhere on the Earth equally
The name given to the gradual warming of the Earth is "Global Warming."
Global warming has not helped the earth, it has harmed the earth.
There is no such thing as "a global warming" global warming only happens to earth because human and our unruly decrease in the earths resources. HUMANS cause global warming.
Global Warming can affectthe Earth in many ways and everywhere!
Global Warming is coming to earth. It is because of ozone depletion.
global warming, pollution. GLOBAL WARMING.
Global Warming
Global warming will not destroy the earth. The earth can deal with temperatures very much hotter than now. However, if global warming does not stop it will destroy all life on earth.

Biomes are influenced by the weather of the surrounding area
Global warming is melting the glaciers throughout the earth's surface.
