There are alot more predicted consequences than just "a few hotter days".
Global Warming could potentially eradicate all human life on earth within the next 200 years. That's your children and grand-children - which is precisely the reason something has to be done.
The scientists believe the most severe consequences will be:
Greater and more frequent hurricanes (With warmer waters and more water, hurricanes get stronger and larger). Let Hurricane Katrina set the benchmark for what is to come.
Spread of disease to the northern hemisphere. malaria carrying moquitos could soon move north due to the rise in temperature, causing catastrophic epidemics.
Rise in sea levels. When the icecaps and glaciers melt, not only do the polar bears lose their habitat, low lying land masses such as Bangladesh will nearly completetely flood creating hundreds of thousands climate refugees looking for a new home.
Altered eco systems. This can happen in many different forms but it basically comes down to some plants and animals we eat won't have the right habitat to support thriving crops and animals. As the worlds population accelarates, this is going to create a huge global food crisis. I.e. You will walk into a supermarket and half the shelves will be empty - get ready to live off marmite =/.
So I hope this has helped you. All of these factors together could wipe out most of the human race. Scientists have said we need to peak our emissions at 2015 and keep the average global temperature rise below 2 degrees celsius. If it goes above this, nature will step in and the temperature will rocket to 6 degrees causing even more problems, and by that point there will be nothing we can do. This is why we need to never let the temperature reach that kind of level.
The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that global warming is real and primarily caused by human activities. While there may be a small minority of scientists who question the extent or causes of global warming, the consensus and evidence supporting the reality of climate change are robust.
There are people who don't believe global warming is happening.There are people who believe it is happening but don't believe that humans are causing it.There are people who believe all the climate scientists who believe it is happening and that we are causing it.
Not necessarily, as belief in evolution and belief in global warming don't really have anything to do with each other. That said, a person who believes in evolution is probably more likely to believe in global warming, as they tend to listen to what scientists say, and scientists are the biggest advocates for global warming being real.
Opponents of the global warming theory may believe that the Earth's climate changes are natural and not primarily influenced by human activities. They may also argue that the scientific evidence supporting global warming is inconclusive or exaggerated, and that policies to address climate change could have negative economic impacts.
As with all issues, not ALL scientists believe in the link between human activity and global warming. However, the majority of scientists feel that the evidence for global warming is adequate to prove its existence. The majority of scientists who reaffirm the theory of global warming believe there is a link between climate and human activity. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, "The Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states: it is a greater than a 90 percent certainty that emissions of heat-trapping gases from human activities have caused "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century." "
Approximately 97 of climate scientists believe in global warming.
Approximately 97 of scientists believe in man-made global warming.
According to multiple studies, less than 3 of scientists do not believe in global warming.
Because it is GLOBAL, not local warming.
The vast majority of climate scientists, around 97, believe in global warming and agree that it is primarily caused by human activities.
Yes, approximately 97 of scientists agree that global warming is happening and is primarily caused by human activities.
The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that global warming is real and primarily caused by human activities. While there may be a small minority of scientists who question the extent or causes of global warming, the consensus and evidence supporting the reality of climate change are robust.
According to surveys, around 97 of actively publishing climate scientists agree that global warming is happening and is primarily caused by human activities.
There are people who don't believe global warming is happening.There are people who believe it is happening but don't believe that humans are causing it.There are people who believe all the climate scientists who believe it is happening and that we are causing it.
No. Although Al Gore himself is not a scientist, he has listened carefully to what scientists have to say about global warming. He is concerned about scientific predictions about the potential effects of global warming on society and the world as a whole, because that is what most scientists are telling him.

I believe in global warming because I believe that the data gathered by scientists around the world ofIncreasing temperatures,Rising sea levels,Melting ice and glaciers,And many other phenomena,is true.
