When will global warming end?

The process of global warming can only be ended by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Unfortunately, there is generally beleved to be a certain point after which nothing we can do will end the effect, and the longer we wait, the more difficult and costly it will be to end the trend. The amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere must be curbed, and the destruction of the planet's photosynthesis engine (the forests) must be stopped and reversed. Without meeting both conditions, the trend of global warming will continue. Global Warming may end on its own, as the global environment becomes inhospitable to people and most of our cities and fossil fuel-guzzling vehicles are destroyed, but these sorts of trends are not really within our ability to accurately predict.


Those global energy has to do with global warming?

Global energy consumption contributes to global warming by releasing greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels for energy production is a major source of these emissions, trapping heat and leading to an increase in the Earth's temperature. Transitioning to renewable energy sources and increasing energy efficiency are crucial steps in combating global warming.


What is the risk we are facing due to global warming?

The main risks of global warming include more frequent and severe natural disasters, such as hurricanes and droughts, rising sea levels leading to flooding and coastal erosion, and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture, impacting food security and biodiversity. Additionally, there are potential health risks from heatwaves, worsening air quality, and the spread of diseases.


Is global warming the beginning of the end for life on Earth?

It has not yet been confirmed but it could cause apocalyptic natural disasters, such as gigantic floods. Any number of possible scenarios could bring about the end of mankind, and possibly all other life on earth. Global warming is one scenario. Others include: large asteroid impact; global thermonuclear war; global pandemic virus; overpopulation and resulting lack of resources; multiple supervolcano eruptions. While all these are possibilities the odds vary from one scenario to another. Even if mankind survives into the far future, billions of years hence, they would still be faced with the inevitable death of the universe.


Will the oceans rise three feet because of global warming?

Rising global temperatures are causing polar ice to melt, contributing to sea level rise. It is estimated that sea levels could rise by 1-3 feet by the end of the century due to global warming, but the exact amount and timing depend on various factors and uncertainties in climate models.
