Doing a dissertation for Geography and need a list of consequences for global warming. (Something I don't believe in but hey we'll run with it.)

I google'd.. believe me I did, but they were all so un-origional, and I really want to get a good grade for this paper.

Go.

There's lots of theory and speculation, but here is the only true fact:

Lower heating bills ... thus, less fossil fuels used and less pollution.

hmmm.

A consequence is causing the gulf stream to shut down, stopping warm water reaching northern Europe (UK) and sending us into a mini ice age.

Its already shutting down too...

Solutions? None, i think. Florida 2015- LEZ DO IT

Thanks SERE, but still taking ideas.

EDIT: You may not karma the same person in a 24 hour period.

Sorry.

EDIT2: 12 minute wait for karma, lol.

Extinction
Gulf steam failure
Rise in sea levels
Northwest europe thrown into a small ice age thing
Food production failure around the globe
People start rioting and small wars break out
All out war

Solution?:

Actually make 0% emission vehicles
Wind farms and other renewable sources
Replant the raiforests.

Urm, aaahhhh.

Cars give off certain gases that cause "Global Dimming". If we don't use cars but still burn fossil fuels then we are still releasing CO2.

Yes, i know Global Dimming causes rain and floods in countries like India, but it also helps cool down the Earth too.

The melting of the polar ice caps will cause an increase in sea level, meaning that countries like the Netherlands will be the next Atlantis.

Go.
Why would you be doing an essay on Global Warming in Geography?  That seems a bit out of place.

As does doing an essay on a controversial topic as if it were fact.

Go out and buy a book on it, i can advise A short introduction to: Global Warming, its not that short at all (400 pages) but its cheap.

okay, I will call BS on that one.  The US used to have a huge forest from the east coast to the Mississippi river.  Gone. I doubt the trees planted in the other areas compensate for that. 

I am not a tree hugger by any means.  The majority of our CO2 >>> O2 cycle is conducted by blue-green algae in the oceans anyway.  But they look pretty.

Nobody is talking about Man Made global warming, it's only you faggots who have suddenly turned this into a whole debate talking about Al Gore and how it's a religion and shit. Fuck sake. All the guy wanted was consequences to the earth if the temperature continued rising as it is. What the fuck has that got to do with pollution and all that, those may be the causes, but the question isn't asking for that. Man, you guys would fail a Geog exam, get a U or someshit.

You can't not believe that the Climate is changing Finnigan, it is. Whether it's man made or a natural cycle, that's a different debate. Fact is, it's changing whether we like it or not. And we need to prep ourselves for it.

I do agree that Governments and Al Gores cashing in on it is fucking stupid, though. Although we really should cut down on our pollution and shit, because it's bad in more ways than adding to the atmospheric gases.

interesting bit about the blue-green algae producing more O2 than trees.  if the ocean temps rise enough to disrupt this, then the CO2 levels would rise (because of lack of the sufficent quantity of algae to process it), and this CO2 contributes to greenhouse effect no?  i'm unsure how hot the ocean would have to be in order to kill off the algae though.  certainly, the temps raising would have potential effects on currents and breeding of sea animals so that impact could be a problem. 

but then again, what does it take really to increase the temp of the oceans?  i would think that's a very tough thing to do over a short time.

my guess is that most of the perceived climate changes we are experiencing now are due to cyclic behaviors due in larger part to the orbit of our planet around the sun as opposed to the atmosphere.  in the industrial revolution days, there were huge problems with polution yet we didn't experience climate changes based soley on these factors.  In fact, Pittsburgh was so black with soot that noon looked like midnight on a new moon - completely black - and that wasn't so long ago.

i can kind of see both sides of the global warming argument but i still have my doubts as to the true motives of the Goracles.  my gut tells me that they are in it for the money and not to save the earth.

Here is the fun thing about raising water temps:  Microbes love warmer temperatures... well, they still reproduce in 37o C/100o F temps.  But, as the water temp rose, the algae would be able to spread more into the northern and southern areas currently too cold for the algae to survive.  So, as CO2 rises, the water gets warmer, the algae is able to spread more, more CO2 is stripped from the atmosphere and converted to oxygen, temperatures fall.  The oceans are a temperature regulator for our planet in more ways than one.

I will confess, however, that I do not know what time scale we would be talking about.  It may be quickly, it may not.  I am not a microbiologist, but I did bring this subject up with my microbiology professor; I just forgot to ask about time frames.

What everyone also forgets is they assume we are leaving the "normal" phase and getting hotter.  The earth temperature is cyclic.  We have been coming out of a mini-ice age.  There is no "normal" state that the earth is usually enjoying. 

And you are correct; many people usually try to discount one of the largest factors; the Sun.
