Global Warming effects
Green house gases stay can stay in the atmosphere for an amount of years ranging from decades to hundreds and thousands of years. No matter what we do, global warming is going to have some effect on Earth. Here are the 5 deadliest effects of global warming
5. Spread of disease
As northern countries warm, disease carrying insects migrate north, bringing plague and disease with them. Indeed some scientists believe that in some countries thanks to global warming, malaria has not been fully eradicated.
4. Warmer waters and more hurricanes
As the temperature of oceans rises, so will the probability of more frequent and stronger hurricanes. We saw in this in 2004 and 2005.
3. Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves
Although some areas of Earth will become wetter due to global warming, other areas will suffer serious droughts and heat waves. Africa will receive the worst of it, with more severe droughts also expected in Europe. Water is already a dangerously rare commodity in Africa, and according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global warming will exacerbate the conditions and could lead to conflicts and war.
2. Economic consequences
Most of the effects of anthropogenic global warming won't be good. And these effects spell one thing for the countries of the world: economic consequences. Hurricanes cause do billions of dollars in damage, diseases cost money to treat and control and conflicts exacerbate all of these.
1. Polar ice caps melting
The ice caps melting is a four-pronged danger.
First, it will raise sea levels. There are 5,773,000 cubic miles of water in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, if all glaciers melted today the seas would rise about 230 feet. Luckily, that's not going to happen all in one go! But sea levels will rise.
Second, melting ice caps will throw the global ecosystem out of balance. The ice caps are fresh water, and when they melt they will desalinate the ocean, or in plain English - make it less salty. The desalinization of the gulf current will "screw up" ocean currents, which regulate temperatures. The stream shutdown or irregularity would cool the area around north-east America and Western Europe. Luckily, that will slow some of the other effects of global warming in that area!
Third, temperature rises and changing landscapes in the artic circle will endanger several species of animals. Only the most adaptable will survive.
[B]Fourth,[/B] global warming could snowball with the ice caps gone. Ice caps are white, and reflect sunlight, much of which is relected back into space, further cooling Earth. If the ice caps melt, the only reflector is the ocean. Darker colors absorb sunlight, further warming the Earth.

So what is the solution? Are we just being negative? Are there any positive effects of global warming? What about all the stupid global warming solutions. I welcome your thoughts.

Laloo Returns... Funny must Read
Laloo Prasad Yadav's car is driving along a back country road on the
way back
to Patna , when all of a sudden a piglet(Baby of pig, for ppl who dont
knw) jumps out in
front of the car. The piglet dies on the spot. Laloo, upset, tells the
chauffeur to
go find the owner of the piglet so that he can pay the damages.
The driver is gone for two hours and when he comes back, he has a Bag
full of money, and a wondering look on his face. Laloo wants to know
what happened.

The driver tells him " Hum jab gaanv me pahuncha to dekha kuchh log
ped ke niche baithe hain. Jub hum unko bataya ki kya hua hai, tab sare
log jama ho gaye. Humko laga ki aaj to hamari pitayee hogee. Par hum
dekha ki Sare log paisa jama kar rahe hain. Hum socha ki ye sara paisa
wo janvar ke Malik ke liye hai. Par un logo ne saara paisa hamein de
diya."
Laloo says "Sasoor ka natee, Theek theek batao. Tum unko kya bola tha?"
