What ever increasing heat does to air, water and land

Let's start with the air. In the air the increasing heat causes air to rise quicker and quicker. This updraft of air especially in the desert regions causes winds to increase exponentially wherever this happens. So, if for example, the normal wind this time of year might be 10 to 20 miles per hour in a given condition it might double to 20 to 40 miles per hour.


In regard to water when greater heat is applied to it it causes increased evaporation and so increased clouds.

For example, Whistler and Mt. Hood are two year around skiing resorts. However, the lack of snow combined with increased heat this year along with a drought along the Western Coast of Canada and the U.S. has caused there to be no snow to ski on now.

So, when you apply heat to the ocean you get effects like the 75 degrees Fahrenheit waters 25 miles off the Coast of California which is very unusual that near to the state even though 70 to 75 degree water isn't unusual for the Los Angeles and San Diego areas right along the beaches where water is shallower and can more easily heat up.

The other thing that happens as heat is applied to water is it heats up especially on the surface of the waters and evaporation which creates more storms and clouds takes place as well. So, this contributes to Typhoons, Hurricanes, and Cyclones (all the same thing in different parts of the world). And now this is creating super Typhoons as this heating of the Pacific ocean continues to increase.

Another effect is the polar vortex slipping off the north pole and bringing cooler weather to Canada, Northern U.S., Siberia and Russia and China during unexpected times during all years now it seems. This is the effect of more and more of the ice cap melting each summer and fall and not returning during the winters and springs.

When you have water which is blue or blue green it absorbed a lot more heat than white snow which reflects the heat. So, the melting ice caps only exponentially increase the heating of the oceans and the melting of the ice over the years now.

Over the land the increased heat dries out soil more and kills plants from too much heat. This drives many plant and animal and insects and birds extinct if they can't get to a more conducive place to live fast enough.

Birds which can fly and migrate do the best with this. All other creatures especially plants often just die or go extinct during these types of ongoing temperature increases.

So, this is what is happening all over earth as temperatures change upwards during the past approximately 15 years now.

My thought is that we may be slowly returning to a time when the average temperature at the north pole was about 76 degrees Fahrenheit which is an average temperature likely higher than even Hawaii year around.  So, , sometime when people want to have a Hawaii type of experience in the next 100 to 300 years sometime they will go to the north pole.

I imagine more and more people will live underground to avoid the heat especially during the day around the world and I'm not sure how we will grow food while the temperatures increase unless we all farm further and further north like the growers of wine grapes are doing all over the world already.

They are growing further north if they are north of the equator and further south if they are south of the equator right now.
