What if global warming causes our entire planet to become a tropical paradise?

We'll grow coconuts and bananas. I love coconuts and bananas. I can't wait.

it truly is effectively what has surpassed off contained in the previous in the course of the sessions between the ice a lengthy time period. for the period of such circumstances temperatures were as a lot as twenty levels C hotter than they are literally, flora and bushes have grown by the total planet and animal existence has been thoroughly distinct. Going with information from previous ice age cycles it is probable that without human intervention the international can be a 'tropical paradise' in about 70 million years. on the present price of warming we would purely favor to attend 1300 years. regrettably in acheiving this tropical paradise there'll be devastating consequences, not least being that 60% of residential parts and 80% of agricultural land will be underwater. further, maximum plant and animal species will develop into extinct and human existence as all of us understand it is going to adjust almost previous comprehension.

Unfortunately, with the increase in water temperatures, comes more algae growth and water pollution in some locations. Cities like Richmond Va., that get their water from the James would have a stinking mess on their hands.The hurricanes will increase in scope and size and the hurricane season would be extended as well more typhoons striking in the south Pacific areas. Insects would flourish, droughts would be more prevalent. More outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever.

Maybe the tropics are only paradise in the minds of the people who live in cold climates. My husband has long maintained that he will be the first person to have a banana plantation in the U.K.!

It won't. Do some research, there are maybe a few snall places that would benefit, but it is catastrophic in most. Some places wither from drought, some get washed away in floods. Its not the same everywhere.

They have found palm tree stumps in some pretty cold places.

yes, it would be nice :-)

a pity that we must wake up and realize how much pollution we breathe

Then my skis and I will weep uncontrollably.
