So, what does this mean?

Basically the world's natural warming system is speeding up because of human intervention and so there could be major changes in the weather systems in the future.

oh, yes that is bad! But what can we do to stop it?

That is only part of the problem. With just a slight (.1 degree C) rise in global temperature, weather patterns move enough to make lush farmlands into deserts and vise-versa. The weather also becomes less predictable and more variable, with droughts and floods more frequent.

Is it kinda gunna be like on the movie The Day After Tommorow like when the weathers all bad and stuff?

Kind of, it's basically a film that speeds up what scientists think will happen. There are different theories though, but it's generally excepted that the weather will be changed massivly if the world warms at the rate it is going now.

Will it get cold, cause I dont like the cold weather lol

It's thought that the weather will become more extreme, so in hot places it will get hotter and in cold places it will get colder. The same for wet and dry places; wet places get wetter and dry ones drier.

Oh well I suppose that'l be ok, I mean Australia's pritty hot so it'l just get hotter, I think we should buy a pool

You could have more typhons though (I think that's the austalian version name). And also because it gets hotter and drier the outback will grow.

what are typhons? I've heard of them but I just not sure what they are.

Basically massive big things where the wind spins in a circle. They're usually a couple of hundred miles wide and the wind in them varies between about 75mph and 180mph or so. They destroy can destroy houses and so on. Also there's loads of rain with them.

are they them tornado things ppl in America get? Well I don't think we get those,we get drought though

Jeremy · **Mon May 02, 2005 7:32 am**

They're basically a bigger version of them, although the winds are slightly slower I think. They do come every so often to Australia, but maybe it's not near you?

nadia · cookie Joined: 08 Apr 2005 Posts: 8560 Location: Australia

I dont think they do, because I have never heard of them coming near me, or maybe they have and I never knew

Jeremy · **Mon May 02, 2005 7:36 am**

You would know, lol. They don't happen that often, so depending how old you are there might not have been on then? (Not asking your age, just saying if you are young).

Yeah probly not lol

You can't beleive scientists. They constantly monopolized the research world with their opinions. What makes them any less corrupt than anyone else?

it is a threat, RM. and since we aren't doing *beep* about it, it will become grave.
