This isn't true. Global warming, as the name suggests, affects the entire world, as its mechanism is via long term changes to the atmosphere. Also, it's most severe effects won't be in the form of unlikely "events", but gradual increases in sea level and changes in climate which will put cities underwater and make others too hot to live in.
- hanniabu 7y agoThat is incorrect. For instance, air streams are disrupted and change paths and the hotter temperatures increases moisture in the air which leads to more frequent and worse storms.
- gnode 7y agoI don't disagree that global warming won't also affect catastrophic events. But it's my opinion that the most severe effects will be the changes in climate (temperatures, sea level, desertification, etc).
