What effect might global warming have on us in 30 years' time?

Answer 1

If it continues, we can look forward to a huge increase in food supply, as hundreds of millions of acres, previously too cold to grow crops, becomes suitable for agricultural production. Also, warmer weather in the traditional crop growing areas, combined with more rainfall and more carbon dioxide, will increase yields. In fact, in some areas, there may be enough warmth to plant and harvest two crops in the same year.

There will also be fewer human deaths due to cold weather. Deaths from cold weather number much greater than those from hot weather (though the hot-weather-related deaths get more press). Moreover, the coldest parts of the world, months of the year, and times of the day (in which cold-weather-related deaths are most likely) will warm more than the warmest areas, months, and times. It is clear that the decrease in cold-related deaths will offset, many times over, any increase in hot-weather-related deaths.

Diseases will decrease. The only disease they can come up with that might increase is malaria, and even that is based on the erroneous logic that malaria is a tropical disease. Here's what's really going to happen. As temperatures warm, people will be able to spend more time outdoors and less time indoors. When people are indoors, in close proximity to other people, with little ventilation, diseases spread easily from one person to another. Spending more time outdoors will reduce the chance of contracting diseases from other people.

We may have a small decrease in total land area as sea levels rise slightly due to melting of glaciers, submerging some coastal areas. However, this will be offset, hundreds of times over, by the increase in land that is actually warm enough for people to live on. Vast areas of Siberia, Canada, Northern Europe, etc., are currently very sparsely populated, because few people want to live in such cold conditions. These areas, once they warm a few degrees, could easily handle "climate refugees" from areas that will be totally submerged by rising sea levels.

Answer 2

In 30 years, global warming could lead to more frequent and severe heatwaves, extreme weather events, rising sea levels causing coastal flooding, disruptions to agricultural systems and food security, and increased spread of Infectious Diseases. It may also exacerbate social and economic inequalities as vulnerable populations are disproportionately affected.
