全球变暖会引起温度带的北移,进而导致大气运动发生相应的变化,全球降水也将随之发生变化。一般地,低纬度地区现有雨带的降水量会增加,高纬度地区冬季降雪量也会增多,而中纬度地区夏季降水量将会减少。对于大多数干旱、半干旱地区,降水量增多是有利的。而对于降水减少的地区,如北美洲中部、中国西北内陆地区,则会因为夏季雨量的减少变得更加干旱,水源更加紧张。 据估算,在综合考虑海水热胀、由于极地降水增加导致南极冰帽增大、北极和高山冰雪融化等因素的前提下,当全球气温升高5~5°C时,海平面将可能上升20~165厘米。海平面的上升无疑会改变海岸线,给沿海地区带来巨大影响,目前海拔较低的沿海地区将面临被淹没的危险。海平面上升还会导致海水倒灌、排洪不畅、土地盐渍化等其他后果。 尽管存在着许多的不确定性,但显而易见的是,全球气候变暖对气候带、降水量以及海平面的影响以及由此导致的对人类居住地及生态系统的影响是极其复杂的,必须给予应有的重视。认为这种影响从长远来看是无关紧要的看法是不负责任的Global warming will cause temperatures with the north, which led to corresponding changes in atmospheric motion, the global precipitation will subsequently In general, the low-latitude regions, the existing precipitation will increase with the rain, snowfall in winter at high latitudes will increase, while the mid-latitudes in summer precipitation will be For most of the arid and semi-arid regions, increased precipitation is As for the reduction in precipitation, such as central North America, northwest China inland, the summer rainfall will decrease because of increased drought and water even more It is estimated considering the water in the thermal expansion, due to increased precipitation led to the Antarctic Polar
