What are some of the predicted economic costs associated with a warming climate what areas are expected to be hardest hit economically because of global warming?
If anthropogenic global warming is allowed to proceed, some of the predicted economic costs include:Loss of farm productionWidespread damage to property from intense storm damage and floodsHigher health costsHigher insurance premiumsEntire populations being displaced in low-lying areas such as Bangladesh and some Pacific Island nationsDestruction or abandonment of coastal communities because of rising sea levels and storm surges. This could even include parts of London.Economic benefits are expected to include:The North-West Passage, long no more than a dream, will be ice-free for several months of the year, allowing a shorter trip for shipping from the Pacific ports to Europe.The average global temperature has risen 1.1F (0.6 C) in the twentieth century. Scientists predict will rise 2.5 to 10.4F (1.4 to 5.8C) in the twenty-first century. This might lead to increased damage from hurricanes, floods, fires, and disease. Major changes will take places in many natural systems, as well as in the economic. One vulnerable industry is the insurance industry. Economic losses from worldwide catastrophic natural events, adjusted for inflation, rose from $3.5 billion in the 1950s to $40 billion in the 1990s, more than a tenfold increase. That's due not only to growing populations, but increasing development in vulnerable areas, and frequent storms.
What do republicans say on global warming?
Centrists-Republicans, or people who are Republicans in the middle, say we should find market-based ways to help the enviroment.A right-Republican says that other issue such as war, taxes, and other things come before the idea of global warming, but far-right-Republicans believe that global warming is false and is an idea all about money for Democrats to raise taxes, and make people pay more.With this information also comes the understanding that more often than not, Republicans rely on their "gut" for the answers that they are seeking, not on the tiresome and anti-christian indoctrination of the secular educational system. Republicans tend to be less educated than Democrats, and tend to have a higher rate of Christian fundamentalism (gut-feeling).ANSWER:Republicans believe that Global Warming is all fake. ANSWER:Republicans believe that global warming is a naturally occurring cycle just like global cooling is.
Is global warming junk science?
At present it would be very difficult to answer this question as a yes or no answer. However the science used to prove global warming either way is more geared to proving a politicians point than actually addressing whether a problem exists. Any freak weather can now be blamed on poor science and win votes for politicians doing the job of a scientist. You only have to quote the use of the Kyoto protocol to really see whats happening, the use of 1990 best estimate figures based on 2008 life is a joke! We do not understand IF climate change exists, IF its man made or IF its mearly a natural thing. We are being told Al Gore knows the answers when clearly a simple google search would tell you different.

When will the arctic completely melt?
Soon!In the 1980s average minimum Arctic sea ice was 7.4 million square kilometers.In the 1990s it was 6.8 million.In the 2000s it was 5.7 million.In 2012 it was 3.41 million, the lowest ever.Scientists used to say the Arctic would be ice free by 2050. Now they think certainly by 2030, and perhaps even by about 2016.The speed of events is why scientists are so worried. The only known way to stop this melt is to cut greenhouse emissions triggering these changes, and there are few signs of that occurring.''This is absolutely the critical decade for action,'' said Australian climate expert Tim Flannery.
Did people believe in global warming in 1940?

Why was the concern over global cooling replaced with a concern over global warming?
The concern over global cooling in the 1970s was based on limited data and studies, while the concern over global warming emerged as more scientific evidence accumulated over time, showing a consistent warming trend caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels. The shift in concern reflects improvements in climate science and a better understanding of the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on Earth's climate.

Immigration in the 1990s differed from that in the 1890s primarily due to changes in global dynamics, technology, and U.S. immigration policy. In the 1990s, the fall of the Soviet Union and conflicts in regions like Central America led to a surge of refugees and asylum seekers, while the earlier wave in the 1890s was largely driven by economic opportunity and persecution in Europe. Additionally, advancements in communication and transportation made it easier for immigrants to connect with family and find jobs in the U.S. Lastly, the 1990s saw a shift towards more diverse immigration patterns, with increasing numbers from Asia and Latin America, contrasting with the predominantly European immigrants of the 1890s.
