How is global warming effecting the world globally and locally

Thank u

I have no idea. Not because I am not aware of what is going on around the world. It is because I have no diea what cliamte change even means. The climate has always been in a state of change. We have had 4.5 billion years of climate change on Earth. One of the effects of this climate change is that we are alive, that life exists.

Do you mean man-made cliamte change??? If so, how does one seperate man-made from natural? I would think that you would need to not only have a causal link, but to be able to see those causal link changes above the noise.

Let me give you an example. 4 of the 5 deadliest hurricanes to hit the US all occurred before 1928. 2 of them BOTH occurred in 1893. So was Katrina caused by man??? Doubtful, but if it was, how would we even know???

There is an answer to this. You show a statistically significant increase in weather events and you account for multiplicity based upon the number of events you are considering. This is a statistical analysis I have never seen.

Local depends on the locality. Globally, globally warming disrupts the climate permanently.

At Yahoo Answers there is no penalty for giving deliberately false answers. Indeed half the "top ten" contributors in the category "global warming" are hard-core anti-science serial liars. Better do your own research. Here are a few useful links:

U.S. National Academy of Sciences, 2010:

“Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems.”

http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpine...

“Choices made now about carbon dioxide emissions reductions will affect climate change impacts experienced not just over the next few decades but also in coming centuries and millennia…Because CO2 in the atmosphere is long lived, it can effectively lock the Earth and future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could become very severe.”

“The Academy membership is composed of approximately 2,100 members and 380 foreign associates, of whom nearly 200 have won Nobel Prizes. Members and foreign associates of the Academy are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research; election to the Academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer.”

Re the background of anti-science denial, see the links under sources:

It is more noticeable on the global level than in the local level, because local weather and climate is influenced by transfer of energy to and from other parts of the world as well as from the Sun and to space, while globally, such changes in weather and climate tend to cancel each other out. The reason why this makes global climate change more noticeable than local climate change is that local weather is much noisier than global. Locally, the record heat wave may have happened decades ago, and record cold weather can happen today, even though Earth is warming. The noise to signal ratio is higher locally than it is globally.

What global warming/Climate Change? It's been cooling for at least 12 years.

Top climate scientists say there is no man-made Global Warming.
