Has global warming helped the earth?

Answer 1

Global warming will raise the temperature of the earth and cause great changes to the climate. The earth will cope with this.

All living things on earth, however, may die if global warming continues.

Answer 2

No. Global warming is the recent warming of the earth being caused by human burning of forest fuels. If we can not slow and stop it then the environment will be changed in many ways. Habitats will be destroyed, species unable to adapt or relocate will die. The same goes for the people of some countries.

Answer 3

In the very long term, global warming neither helps nor harms the earth. There have been natural cycles of both warming and cooling, generally over quite long periods of time. As a result, we can also expect rising sea levels, just as in the past, as well as more frequent and severe flooding in some areas, but more severe and prolonged droughts in others. We have already begun to experience more frequent severe hurricanes. Once again, these events are neither good nor bad for the earth, but they are certainly bad for civilisation.

With gradual global warming, some species become extinct, some adapt or migrate to cooler (or warmer) habitats, and some evolve into new species. This is a natural process and need not be considered either good or bad for the earth.

This time around, human activity, such as deforestation and the development of farmland, has in many cases left natural habitats in small, isolated pockets from which it is not possible for wild creatures, trees and other vegetation to migrate to cooler areas. The present global warming, because it is caused by human activity, is also occurring at a rapid rate that scientists believe the earth has never experienced before. This leaves too little time for many species to adapt or evolve. So, we can expect a tremendous loss of biodiversity.

It really depends on what you consider to be the meaning of global warming. The actual meaning of global warming is often confused with the concept of enhanced global warming or man induced global warming.

Global warming is the product of the greenhouse effect. Without this warming our planet would be about 30 degrees cooler and virtually void of any life.

If you consider life to be a good attribute of this planet, then global warming has been very good.

man induced global warming, if eventually proven to be true, would be a very bad thing. Unnatural changes to our environment, that are induced by man, rarely end well.

Answer 4

Yes, global warming heats up the earth. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and the earth becomes warmer. This warming is causing climate change.
