Effects of global warming.?

What are the current and possible future effects of global warming?

The current effects are a 0.6 degree increase in global surface temperatures. The International Panel on Climate Change predicts that tempreatures will rise a further 1.4-5.8 degrees by 2100. Implications could include:
-A global sea level rise of up to 50cm caused by thermal expansion of water and the melting of ice caps,
-A shorter growing season in large parts of Africa, leading to famine
-Increased extinction rates
-Increased coral loss
-Increased damage from floods and storms
-Loss of coastal wetlands and fertile coast areas e.g. the nile delta
-Increase in mortality due to heatwaves, floods, droughts
-Increase in infectious diseases

Future Effects:
1) Flowers will morph into meatballs with a radius of 5.32 centimetres. These new flowers will absorb bumblebees because of their need to sustain their meat content.
2) Polar bears will evolve over the course of 7.4564 years into yetis approximately 9.234 feet in height with ocre yellow fur. These new polar bears will absorb sunlight and water and expell bananas.
3) A huge volcano will sprout in the middle of North America, made entirely out of marble and containing magma that looks suspiciously like grapefruit juice. The strength of its eruption will spout the magma everywhere, which will solidify and form a pinkish sticky goo over the crust.

A)    More plant life (plants thrive in warm weather)
B) More animal life because there will be more plants to eat and more shelter.
C) The growing season will lengthen and shift further north (there is more land mass in the Northern Hemisphere).
D) Longer growing season more farm ground equals more food.

See God is looking out for us. As our need grow he just shifts the farm ground to where we can grow more food.
