(Do you have an increase in tornados and earthquakes than what we have now? is the average temperature in Florida in your time about the same as it is here? or is it different?)
Titor: That's one area I've decided not to talk about...sorry. The average temperature worldwide is a bit cooler.
Titor: You asked about the North Polar ice pack. I never said the environment wasn't a problem. Doesn't water expand when it freezes? If the polar ice cap melted, wouldn't sea level go down? I don't know if there's enough ice for this to make a difference and I'm not an expert on global warming.
Titor: I also heard someplace that if the ice mass on Antarctica melted today, sea level worldwide would rise about 100 feet. I’m not exactly sure that’s true but still… Mt. Everest might be a bit of a stretch.
Titor: The big one? As you are experiencing now, there are earthquakes, storms and other unfortunate surprises from Mother Nature that have impacts on your society and future history. That is one reason I won’t go into detail.
However, don’t worry too much about major portions of coastline slipping under water.
Volcanoes curb rise in sea levels
Violent volcanic eruptions help to combat some of the effects of global warming by cooling the Earth and keeping a check on rises in sea level, scientists have discovered.
Eruptions are known to have a cooling effect on the planet's atmosphere because the fine particles thrown up by the volcanoes linger in the air at high altitudes and reflect sunlight and warming infrared radiation before it can hit the Earth's surface.
