    Yeah it doesn't really affect Nelson, here in New Zealand (luckily), but I hear it's quite bad in China and Korea and other countries.

    It has been affecting NZ though, Our Tuatara rely on thier eggs being raised in a certain temp. Above a certain temp and Tuatara are born male, below a certain temp they are born female. Over the past 15years the ration has changed from Male 2:3 Female to Male 4:1 female. This poses a huge problem obviously. Same goes for a lot of other reptiles. Also our glaciers here (and arround the world) have been greatly reduced. Not to mention a host of other things.

    Global warming is a serious threat to sea level countries like the Philippines because as more ice caps melt sea level rises and there is threat to the country being submerged in water

    i know one country has already sunk to the sea

    the melting is the least of worries. The thermal expansion of the ocean is a much bigger worry. Especially for holland which is already below sea level.

    this topic some how remind me of "Two Days Before the Day after Tomorrow"

    anyway the weather is really wild last few years, i guess Mother Nature is really piss off....of it is the effect of Global Warning?
     
  8. I know a place that is below sea level, it was called atlantis XD
    and some geologists still say there isn't enough evidence to support global warming
    I believe that we're still coming out of the previous ice age...just at a slightly accelerated rate now.
    But someone said that in 60-70 years florida will be below sea level

    If it would snow in tropical countries it would even be catastropic because we are not prepared for those kinds of weather plus if it would snow I'm the one who would probably get to experience it.

    so joking around saying yay thers snow is not very funny, but I like to know the feeling of snowing but if the weather is fluctiating we might even experience even lower temperature than countries away from the equator( countries who have 4 seasons)

    we will get only one season WINTER then winterr will go to the phil. cause its melting in the ice caps

    Oh I thought of a theory of what would happen in the future............... Because we esperience weather fluctuations and we here in tropical countries experience colder climates, it might be possible that the ice caps that are melting from the north/south poles might form near the equator if the climate around these parst get even colder............................................. I call this the Tundra Erosion Theory

    *note I only used observation and this is only a theory after all*
