what parts of the world will be affected by global warming?

Increasing wind strength and resulting storm damage will be a global problem. An increase in desertification will hit the inland countries, alterations to the sea level will affect coastal countries.\n\nThe cold temperate zone will actually get colder, less habitable - affecting developed countries only. If the warming  cuts off the gulf stream, the pendulum might swing back and cause glaciation - an ice age. While this will directly affect the developed countries, the developing countries will have to cope with yet less available water. A lose-lose situation...

If you mean global warming, it's the scientific observation that the earth's temperature is rising over a period of time This is resulting in polar melting, raising the ocean level and affecting other weather patterns.

Global warming refers to the increases in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans that has been observed in recent decades. The scientific opinion on climate change is that the average global temperature has risen 0.6 ± 0.2 °C over the 20th century, and that it is likely that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities". The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing and agriculture, and other human activities, are the primary sources of the human-induced component of warming.\n\nObservational sensitivity studies and climate models referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global temperatures may increase by between 1.4 and 5.8 °C between 1990 and 2100. The range of uncertainty results in large part from not knowing the volume of future carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, there is uncertainty about the climate sensitivity.The increase in global temperatures is expected to result in other changes including rises in sea level and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation. Such changes may increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and hurricanes. This may also cause lower agricultural yields, glacier retreat, reduced summer streamflows, or contribute to biological extinctions. Although warming is expected to affect the number and magnitude of these events, it is difficult to connect any particular event to global warming. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming (and sea level rise due to thermal expansion) would be expected to continue past then, since CO2 has a long average atmospheric lifetime. [1].\n\nThere are only a few scientists who contest the view that humanity's actions have played a significant role in increasing recent temperatures. However, more significant uncertainties exist regarding how much climate change should be expected in the future, and a hotly-contested political and public debate exists over what, if anything, should be done to reduce or reverse future warming, and how to cope with the consequences.\n\nThe term 'Global warming' is a specific case of the more general term 'climate change' (which can also refer to cooling, such as in Ice ages). Furthermore, the term is in principle neutral as to the causes, but in common usage, 'global warming' generally implies a human influence. Note, however, that the UNFCCC uses 'climate change' for human caused change and 'climate variability' for non-human caused change [2]. Some organizations use the term 'anthropogenic climate change' for human induced changes.

1. continental drifting\n\nVery slow but substantial changes.\n\n2. changes in sun's energy\n\nSuspected to be large, but not yet demonstrated conclusively.\n\n3. variations in the positions of the earth relative to the sun\n\nFairly small effect. \n\n4. volcaic eruptions\n\nLarge observable effects in global temperature etc. \n\n5.greenhouse effect\n\nKeeps the earth about 60 degrees F warmer than it would be otherwise.\n\n6. global warming\n\nIn the last hundred years, the earth has warmed measurably. It is not clear if this is due to human activities or not, but many suspect it is.\n\n7. air pollution\n\nHas increased the ozone depletion at the poles in springtime, which introduces more UV lower into the air column. This might be changing the climate, although it is not known for sure.\n\nAlso blocks sunlight locally near sources of soot. It is not clear how big an effect this has globally, but it might be a cooling factor. \n\nAcid rain produced by S02 emissions has been involved in some deforestation, which has probably had an effect on the climate, but again this is not known for sure.

Heres an idea: Our world is becoming a more dangerous place as global warming continues.(Then speak a little more about the sentence, next paragraph =causes, next paragraph= effects, final=restate the first sentence) Good Luck!

actually, because of Global Warming, we would be in the ice age.  The increase in temperature causes a higher density of water vapor in the air, as a result the net temperature on the surface of the earth drops, and we get lots and lots of percipitation.  The Earth is making drastic attempts to shift it's self to remedy this.  Al Gore thinks we can control it because WE caused it, and so it would stand to reason that we fix it.

--Humans cut down forests and woodlands and plough the soil for agricultural purposes to produce more food. This decreases photosynthesis and there is less utilization of CO2 and so the atmospheric CO2 increases in concentration, hence disturbing the carbon cycle and leading to global warming.\n--Due to the increasing human population, more vehicles are now in use and the car exhaust release more of pollutant gases including CO2, and so the concentration of CO2 in air increases.\n--Excessive combustion of fossil fuels also release CO2 in the atmosphere and increase its concentration. This leads to global warming which has the following effects: (1) Melting of polar ice caps due to increased temperature, resulting in floods. (2) Evaporation of water from water bodies, altering the rainfall pattern and climatic conditions. (3) More evaporation of water from the soil, leading to drought and famine.\nHowever, and increase in temperature increases the rate of photosynthesis. Hence more of 02 is evolved and the cycle can be brought back to normal.

1. Global warming of the surface layers of the oceans reduces the upward transport of nutrients. \n\n2. Plankton growth becomes unstable when the supply of nutrients is reduced. \n\n3. This has a negative impact on the food chains of the oceans  - demograghic species shifts occur in fish who are reliant on plankton for nutrition. In turn, fish who feed on THOSE fish are either forced to move to new feeding grounds or are themselves in danger of extinction.\n\n4. This in turn impacts on the marine food chain available to humans, putting strain on resources elsewhere (more reliance on crops and alternative forms of proteins, which may not be asgood for us). Thus gobal warming could store up a future of disease for mankind.\n\n5. Plankton also acts (along with rainforests) as the earth's 'filter' so a reduction in plankton also has an impact on the uptake of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the oceans. Hence more greenhouse gasses are in the atmosphere because there are fewer plankton to absorb them. In addition, the few plankton that are left become saturated.\n\n6. Scientists speculate that eventually global warming will cause the collapse of the plankton ecosystem and, when this happens, all food chains leading up from plankton will be in danger of extinction.

Global warming is an effect in the earth's lower atmosphere that is claimed to exist by many scientists today.  Essentially, the theory claims that carbon monoxide, fluorocarbons and other gases have damaged the ozone layer, the protective layer in the earth's upper atmosphere that protects the planet from the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.  Some man-made causes of these gases are automobile emissions and bovine flattulance.  The supposed increased levels of UV radition are striking the earth in greater incidence, especially in the equatorial oceans. Hence, according to the theory, the warming oceans are changing weather patterns and melting the polar ice caps.   More severe storms and raising of the ocean levels are possible.  Detractors of the theory contend, however, that evidence for diminishment of the ozone layer, warming of the oceans and melting of the polar ice caps is scant due to the lack of longitudinal (long-term) climatological data for the earth.  In sum, it is unclear whether the changing weather patterns that appear to be happening are caused by man-made activities or part of some cycle governed by normal processes.
