First, there is no appreciable manmade climate change.
Second, the Earth has an immense power to heal itself.
Third, far before all of the ice on Earth thawed, we would all be dead from extreme heat. (There are thousands of feet of ice depth in Antarctica, you see).
Fourth, all the Coastlines and beyond around the world would be underwater. But . . . all the extra water over what is now land would reflect back a bunch more sunlight than now happens, and the cooling effect would bring things back to a reasonable temperature.
And, for the temperature gets warm enough to thaw all the ice, somehow there would have to be huge, gigantic volumes more greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It would rain all the time around the world due to all the humidity in the air, and plants would rule because of the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. All of the dryland animals and plants would die from too much water.

When do tornadoes will happen when their number increase because of climate change?
The common idea that a warmer climate means more energy and thus more tornadoes is an oversimplified. Scientists are still not sure how climate change will affect tornadoes as many factors are involved. Most models predict, for example, that the Great Plains, which have a high frequency of tornadoes, will become drier, which could actually decrease tornado frequency. Some have noted that the area of highest tornado frequency may be shifting northward..
What year did climate change start to affect polar bears?
