- Some predicted Future Effects of Climate Change. Increased average temperatures: the IPCC (International Panel for Climate Change) predict a global rise of between 1.1 C and 6.4 C by 2100 depending on some scientific uncertainties and the extent to which the world decreases or increases greenhouse gas emissions. And 95 years is a short time!

- Moreover, global climate change is expected to increase year-to-year variations in desert rainfall, including an increase in desert droughts induced by a negative feedback between the ENSO cycle and the global atmosphere (Tsonis and others 2005).

- Widespread scientific consensus exists that the world’s climate is changing. Some of these changes will likely include more variable weather, heat waves, heavy precipitation events, flooding, droughts, more intense storms, sea level rise, and air pollution. Each of these impacts could negatively affect public health.

Climate Change Could Wreck the Global Economy Climate Change Could Wreck the Global Economy. Temperature rise due to climate change may radically damage the global economy and slow growth in the coming decades if nothing is done to slow the pace of warming, according to new research.

Predictions of Future Global Climate Changing Severe Weather: Some climate scientists believe that hurricanes, typhoons, and other tropical cyclones will (and may have begun to already) change as a result of global warming. Warm ocean surface waters provide the energy that drives these immense storms. Warmer oceans in the future are expected to cause intensification of such storms.

- Extreme weather gets a boost from climate change. We're seeing hotter heat waves, drier droughts, bigger storm surges and more. Scientists are detecting a stronger link between the planet’s warming and its changing weather patterns. Though it can be hard to pinpoint whether a particular heat wave or hurricane would have been less severe without climate change, the research is telling us more.

Chapter 5 Global Warming and the Future Dire Predictions. Scientists who are the most alarmed about global warming predict that the earth is headed for catastrophe if the temperature keeps rising—which they are convinced it will continue to do. They know that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, have been building up for several hundred years.

- Past climate changes led. to extinction of many species, population migrations, and pronounced changes in the land. surface and ocean circulation. The speed of the current climate change is faster than most of. the past events, making it more difficult for human societies and the natural world to adapt.

- Global climate patterns are dynamic: They are continually changing in response to solar radiation, atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, and other climate forcing factors. Among the more predictable of these changes are cyclical changes in solar radiation reaching the poles.

Attribution of recent climate change According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is extremely likely that human influence was the dominant cause of global warming between 1951 and 2010. The IPCC defines extremely likely as indicating a probability of 95 to 100%, based on an expert assessment of all the available evidence.arbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas that is contributing to recent climate change. CO 2 is absorbed and emitted naturally as part of the carbon cycle, through animal and plant respiration, volcanic eruptions, and ocean-atmosphere exchange.

- Some short-term climate variation is normal, but longer-term trends now indicate a changing climate. Our state and societies around the globe need to reduce human-caused greenhouse gas emissions to avoid worsening climate impacts and reduce the risk of creating changes beyond our ability to respond and adapt.

Short Answers to Hard Questions About Climate Change Over the coming 25 or 30 years, scientists say, the climate is likely to resemble that of today, although gradually getting warmer. Rainfall will be heavier in many parts of the world, but the periods between rains will most likely grow hotter and therefore drier.

- Changing Weather. For most places, global warming will result in more frequent hot days and fewer cool days, with the greatest warming occurring over land. Longer, more intense heat waves will become more common. Storms, floods, and droughts will generally be more severe as precipitation patterns change.

- The global climate is changing, and will continue. to change, in ways that affect the planning. and day to day operations of businesses, government agencies and other organisations1. The manifestations of climate change include. higher temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and more frequent or intense extreme events.

- Global Warming Solutions. Earth’s temperature is rising day by day and there is no single solution to solve global warming which has already created havoc in today’s world. Threats of global warming include: rising sea level, lost endangered species, climate change and deadly storm events. We have already seen the causes of global warming. The solutions listed below can bring down the carbon emissions up to much extent We are already seeing the effects of global warming around the world as climate change, melting of glaciers, droughts and diseases. The real problem is the pollution produced from industries, vehicles and power plants.
