If the earth warms by two degrees:
- The glaciers will disappear from Greenland
- Polar bears will struggle to survive as so much ice has melted
- Insects move with the climate. Pine bark beetles will move north and kill off the white bark forests in the USA that provide the grizzly bear with food
- New forests will spring up in the melting tundra of Canada
- Pacific islands like Tuvalu are underwater
- Most of the world's tropical coral reefs will be lost.

∙ 14y agoIf the earth warms by one degree:
- the Arctic will be ice free for half the year and ships will sail the North West Passage
- tens of thousands of homes around the Bay of Bengal will be under water
- hurricanes will begin hitting the South Atlantic Ocean
- droughts and new deserts in the western USA will cause global shortages of wheat and beef

∙ 11y ago• At 6°C warmer, the world could resemble the Cretaceous Era, 144 to 65 million years ago, when global temperatures were much higher than today.
• Depleted of nutrients, the oceans could appear bright blue.
• Deserts march across continents like conquering armies.
Natural disasters become common events, and some of the world's great cities could be flooded or abandoned.
World temperatures would experience incredible heat waves, on a disastrous level;
- Salt water and impurities would make drinkable water rare;
- The oceans food chain would be totally disrupted, causing a loss of a food source

How might changes in the solar energy affects earths climate?
In the words of bekey "As the sun spot activity increases, the Earth tends to warm up. Conversely as sun spot decreases the Earth tends to cool a bit."
How does global warming affect the temperature of the surface of the earth?
The sun warms us, and most of its rays warm the surface of the earth. This warmth rises up into the atmosphere (infrared heat) and most of it is captured by greenhouse gases already there (natural water vapour and carbon dioxide, as well as extra carbon dioxide from burning coal and oil).The heat from these warm greenhouse gases spreads out in all directions, including back down to earth, where it warms the earth's surface a bit more.
Why is the science of meteorology important to the everyday average citizen?

What would happen to a vampire if they bit their own self?
nothing.
What would happen if there was no sun for three days?
It might get a bit chilly, and it would certainly be dark most places, but the Earth has a lot of residual heat, and three days wouldn't freeze us solid.
What would happen if there was not enough greenhouse gases?
The earth would be quite a bit colder (I think it's like -18 degrees C, or 0o F). This would be too cold for humans, and most other life on the planet.
When will the next eclipse happen and what would happen if you are on the moon?
you would jet a bit burnt if you where on the moon. I'll find out about the next eclipse
What will happen if you tore off a raisin from your neck?

It depends on where the black hole appeared, but irrespective of that bit of minutia, the same things would happen on the Earth as on the Moon if a black hole appeared somewhere, that being nothing with regards to a specific person.
