If global warming reaches its extreme, what will be the affects on the earth?
Answer:
The climate will NOT become irreversibly unstable. Warming and cooling has occurred lots of times in the past.
How do you know that?
Well, the temperature will rise, causing the glaciers at the poles to melt and create new currents in the slowly rising ocean waters. Half of Florida will be covered in water, and many islands will be gone.
England will get wetter..oh no wait it couldn't possibly get wetter than it has been
Didn't you watch The Day After Tomorrow?
Brits should sell supertanker-loads of water to LA! Quickly, before global cooling sets in!!
The Historical evidence is that the climate can go a lot hotter, and has, without any bad effects. It always heads down quickly when it gets to a certain point, and bottoms out and stays really cold a long long time. Al Gore will have to hollow out an iceberg for his concerts on Global Warming then.
Irreversably unstable would be a condition where the tempertures oscillate around a central point, or where my striking a match sets off enough extra heat that the temperature rises a long ways rapidly, and then perhaps plunges at nightfall unless I light another match.
Or suddenly changes to a different average temperature for no apparent cause. Hard to plan if you go to sleep with the AC and 2 fans on, and when you wake up there is a foot of CO2 snow on your bed...and this instability goes on and on forever.
We can conceiveably mess things up so bad the temperature rises to boiling, and all life except a few bacteria are cooked, but I do not think that is likely, However, if we go the other way, trying to cap global warming, we could throw ourselves right back into an ice age! Way early.
Life would survive, but Man might not. Al Gore might by flying from place to place along the equator until his plane ran out of fuel.
global warming doesnt exist.
listen to michal savage
Extremely dry inland conditions, more occurences of tropical diseases around the world (malaria), rising sea levels, quick changes of climate, poor ground conditions, animal extinction (e.g. polar bear), extreme disruptions to global exosystems.
Coastal flooding because of ice melting and warmer ocean water expanding, severe damage to agriculture and ecosystems because of changing patterns of temperature and precipitation.
Here's a short newspaper article and a long report with details:

We would be able to grow grapes and other vegetables in Greenland again, like during the Climatic Optimum from 900-1200.
Well as of now hurricane, tsunami, and earth quake rates have increased dramatically. 33% of hurricanes in the 1990s and 2000s reached category 4 or 5. If the temperature continues to raise the polar ice caps will continue to melt causing the sea level to raise which is expected to eventually start flooding coastal cities. And It's extremly possible that we will endure another drought. Go to environmentaldefense.org
well, if u are talking about the extreme... then our planet will feel like venus! and I dont know what happens in venus. I bet it was ruled by Republicans... JK JK :D
means that if you want to survive you'll be living in a cave.
First of all, to understand the many true tragedy behind the corrupted project call global warming and the multi trillion dollars playing on it--- just see the many answer to the industry already available but not allow to be use do to the panic army in USA and Europe--see www.santanaeffect.com
Ok the climate will become wayy warmer right? we have no ozne layer to protect us right? Ok the glaciers will melt. the earth will become the next Atlantis if we don't do anything aboout it now!
