Warming May Create New Climates in Places

Some climates may disappear from Earth entirely, not just from their current locations, while new climates could develop if the planet continues to warm, a study says. Such changes would endanger some plants and animals while providing new opportunities for others, said John W. Williams, an assistant professor of geography at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Dispelling the Myths: The Truth About What's Causing the Greenhouse Effect

There are many myths afloat about global warming and it seems the resistance to addressing it stems from fear and ignorance – fear that we could lose our jobs or the oversight in thinking that this type of warm weather is cyclical and the cold weather will be back again. There are a lot of myths about global warming. Let's address a few global warming myths then get on with providing solutions to stem the trend:

  • The only way to fight global warming is to close down industrial plants, taking jobs away from hardworking people. Wrong! With a dedicated plan existing plants to reduce environmentally poisonous emissions, global warming solutions don't have to affect the US economy or US workers. Ignoring the problem won't make it go away.
  • Global warming isn't a bad thing - warmer temperatures could solve a lot of environmental concerns. The good is far outweighed by the bad because global warming effects contribute to extreme weather changes that cause floods and droughts.
  • Global warming would happen no matter what; it's a natural part of the earth's life cycle. The buildup of CO2 is not occurring naturally - it's happening because people are burning too many fossil fuels and cutting down forests at an alarming rate.
  • There's no real environmental concern - we have an unlimited supply of resources. Today we think of food and water as something that will always be available. But changing climates effect the entire ecosystem - since wildlife and plants rely upon water, reductions in water will greatly affect their ability to reproduce and grow.
  • If you live in Buffalo, you might be thinking "what global warming effect? We freeze during winter!" While some areas still have cold winters, scientists agree that a few regional anomalies don't impact the far-reaching global warming problem. The global climate is influenced by weather events all over the world spanning hundreds or thousands of years.
  • We can't get an accurate weather forecast - no one can predict global warming effects, either. Global Climate predictions are not as easy to predict as the weather. Global warming studies measure global climate changes, including long-range atmospheric changes. When scientists study global warming changes over time, they find that the atmosphere doesn't fluctuate like the day to day weather - it simply indicates a global warming trend.
