Talk:Effects of global warming

Each one of these really needs a bit more than a couple of lines, but doing it in the main article would have made it too big. This is a basis for expansion.--Bobbing up 13:22, 9 November 2007 (EST)

One sided article
Unfortunately the article is very one sided and contains some huge mistakes:


 * One sided: about the positive sides of Global warming. There are a lot more of them, like increased agricultural food production, and the ones that are there are totally NOT elaborated on !!!
 * Mistake: Malaria is not so much climate related as stated in the article. Around 1940 there were big malaria outbreaks in Siberia, so how do you explain that with global warming? The malaria story should go out as it has nothing to do with climatology. --TheDentist (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * This article is entirely unnessecary. Talsley (talk) 16:19, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Is ocean acidification related to global warming?
As I recall, the mass of the oceans is 1.4*10^18 tonnes, while the mass of the atmosphere is 5.1*10^15 tonnes, and only 400 ppm of that is CO2, which means 2.04*10^12 of the atmosphere is CO2. CO2 concentrations have roughly doubled since the start of industrialization, which means ignoring the complex interactions of dissolved CO2 with salts and other oceanic solutes for every million water molecules on the earth there is 1 more molecule of CO2 to keep them company(actually less because a water molecule has less than half the mass of a CO2 molecule). (Of course, the greenhouse effect raises the surface temperature of the oceans slightly, lowering CO2 solubility, you have to account for that.) In addition, acidic runoff from land, changes in salinity due to evaporation, the local ecosystem, all contribute far more to oceanic acidity, polluted runoff from eroded land will screw up the PH of wherever it happens to be carried. To put it simply, I'm not sure that oceanic acidity belongs in this article.

Suggestion for the "Positive Effects" article
One of the positive effects will be that the anti-environmentalists will be permanently discredited. They will be proven to have been hired to give there opinion. The world and biological life will suffer but the anti-environmentalist movement will be discredited, and crushed, completely. &mdash; Unsigned, by: 50.202.217.170 / talk / contribs

By when?
It says that the most conservative estimates of rising sea levels are 9-88 cm. By when is this supposed to happen? Sorte Slyngel (talk) 14:36, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
