What effect does global warming have on us today?

Answer 1

The many predictions of the horrible results of global warming simply have not happened, although you can still see films about Hoover Dam going dry, polar bears dying all over the north pole, and glaciers shrinking. But none is true, you see. The water in Hoover Dam was lowered on purpose in case of terrorist attack.

The polar bears find their ice melting a bit faster near the west side of Greenland because the periodic warm trend of the North Atlantic Ocean oscillation is directing a bit more of the warm Gulfstream water up there. A few hundred miles away in Sweden, there is a bay that has never, ever frozen over so that there was no ship traffic. Last year, it froze over, and ships could not break through.

There is one glacier in the bay at the southern tip of South America that indeed is receding by 4% a year. But the one next to it is advancing about 4% a year, and also the next one south of it. At the end of what are 6 glaciers, there is a glacier that is advancing at a record-breaking 42% a year, and by now, may have choked off the entire bay.

A couple of years ago, Antarctica was colder than it had been in 27 years.

The predicted onslaught of terrible hurricanes after Katrina did not happen. There were NO hurricanes down there the year after. Since then, the hurricanes have been quite mild.

Answer 2

Global warming can lead to more frequent and severe weather events such as storms, heatwaves, and droughts which can impact agriculture, water supply, infrastructure, and human health. It also contributes to rising sea levels, causing coastal erosion and endangering communities living in coastal areas. Additionally, global warming can exacerbate the spread of diseases and disrupt ecosystems, leading to loss of biodiversity.
