Question

what is the main problem arose from global warming issue, esp in social aspect?

Answer 1

Global warming results in melting of ice, changing precipitation and temperature patterns, sea level rise, frequent extreme events, pest outbreak etc.



All these factors directly or indirectly effect human beings 1)through effecting sources of livelihood e.g. change in precipitation and temperature can affect crops yields, sea level rise will effect people living at coastlines.

2) Epidemics, as changing environmental conditions may make suitable growth environment for pests.

3) destruction due to extreme events.

Answer 2

Global warming, besides creating a lack of arable, inhabitable land and breathable air WILL, if left unchecked, destroy our species, as well as most others.

The planet will not die and new life will develop, but it won't be us.

Answer 3

The chance that it will sspark global conflict, and maybe a war.



Some countries will get hit harder than others. Some may try to continue to deny it, even as many in the world are harmed.



If the world doesn't get together, the chances for conflict are enormous. The US military is very worried about it.

Answer 4

global warming, or should we say climate change greatly affects the social aspect of a community...the effects of global warming to the environment will also affects the social aspect of a certain community.for example, drought!if there were droughts the food production will become low.and rapid population growth means more demands..soon famine will arise.as what i've seen or observed in our country, people will done everything, may it illegal or not, to feed their hungry stomach..in addition, rising of sea level, which is also caused by global warming, will relocate some communities affected by this..it will probably affect the culture of a certain community relocated...there are so many problems will arise on this global warming thing..so we better act now, act fast to stop this..its not too late...:) JAH BLEZ

Answer 5

it is dividing the people into two sides

this is a good thing ,to know who is on whose or what side



the price of drinks or anything that includes water will eventually go up maybe already in the near future ,this will have social effects



the price of food will go up



some people will become more strong in their attitude as regards correct behaviour towards the Environment ,



And conflicts between those who care and those who do not can be expected to become more violent in the future



Some people may become MORE religious

and some people may become LESS religious



we will probably have more restrictions about water and energy use,as well as transport



People may end up working closer to home for less money because of this



we can only guess at what social effects will be ,because we can only guess as to what is going to happen

Answer 6

(Before my English makes you doubt, I'm a Russian)



Global warming fighters love to speak about terrible problems which probably will arise due to global warming. None of that problems we already deal with. Droughts were a common disaster in all times.



Even dividing in two opposing groups we may consider from another point of view. People love to divide into opposing groups. If not global warming, it would be e.g. religion, favorite music genre, etc... I hope that, dividing by attitude to global warming is not such irreversible, like dividing by e.g. religion.



Regardless of global warming reasons, I'd like to point your attention to some problems global warming may help us with.



1) Crops increasing. Plants use atmospheric CO2 to produce their biomass. The more CO2 in the atmosphere the more effective photosynthesis is, the faster everything green grows. Modern researches show, that 2 times CO2 concentration increase would improve agricultural plants efficiency by 30%. By the way, such experiments are quite easy and reliable, unlike mean global temperature measuring.

May be you just thought about what happens if CO2 concentration decreases too much. There is certain limit, which most plants cannot survive. The Earth have already suffered such disaster. Huge areas undergo desertification in this case.



2) Heating expenses in northern territories would decrease. Making us consuming less coal, oil and gas.



3) In the Earth history, warmer climate usually was also more humid (Oligocene, Miocene Epochs), which obviously also good for agriculture.
