If global warming continues to warm the planet beyond the current levels on the planet we could see a very different world. Glaciers and ice caps over land melting will cause rises in sea levels that will put some island nations in peril. Any low-lying land near the coast will be flooded. Rising temperatures will create more desert conditions in warm countries, like Africa, where drought and famine are already causing deaths. Increased warmth will affect the climate, with storms becoming more severe and more dangerous.

Why are kids being taught that global warming is a fact in school when it is an unproven theory at best?

There are two views on whether global warming is real: the view of the overwhelming majority of climate scientists and the views of non-scientists. Most children are being taught the scientific view of global warming, which is that global warming is really happening. After all, by the time many of them are adults, they will have to cope with some of the problems expected to occur as a result of global warming.


Will global warming lead to migration or change in population?

Populations in low-lying areas of Bangladesh and some Pacific Island nations are expected to be forced out of their homes by rising sea levels resulting from global warming. Presumably, rich nations like the United States will provide new homes and assistance for these people.


How are global temperatures expected to change on a long term basis?

Global temperatures are expected to rise on a long term basis. The earth is warming now because of carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere thirty years ago. Even if we completely stopped carbon emissions now the earth would continue to warm up for some time.


Where did global warming majorly occur?

Global warming has occurred across the globe, impacting various regions differently. However, some regions that have experienced significant effects of global warming include the Arctic, where temperatures are rising at twice the global average, and low-lying island nations like the Maldives and Tuvalu, which are threatened by sea-level rise. Additionally, areas with glaciers have witnessed rapid melting due to global warming.


Are landslides getting worse because of global warming?

Landslides happen because of increased rain softening the earth on the side of a mountain. They also occur where people have removed trees which anchored the earth. Removing trees has an effect on global warming, and one of the results of global warming is increased rainfall in some areas. So there is some connection.
