INDEPENDENCE RESEARCH THE INFLUENCE of CLIMATE CHANGE on GLOBALIZATION I. INTRODUCTION What kind of impact and transition of globalization are affected by climate change in the future? Extreme weather is already be a fact of life for the future, and which will force us to face several problems, such as food and energy shortages, population distribution change and so on. Making the most detailed plan for any possibility is the best preparation. I would like to predict the trend of globalization for the future next 50 years. My prediction was made in the basis of climate change. According to the two different weather projections “Global Warming and Global Cooling”, I analyzed the impact and influence of globalization based on two issues: migration and resources. There were many experts and scholars made their studies and analysis on these issues. Therefore, first, I studied and analyzed each one and unified them, then made my own point of view and research. Finally, I formed the pattern for the future of globalization. II. 1. BACKGROUND OF GLOBAL WARMING AND COOLING GLOBAL WARMING Global warming refers to the average temperature continued rising of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Global temperature rising will cause sea level to rise and will change the pattern of rain, and it also might expand the subtropical deserts. Global Warming is expected to be the strongest in the Arctic area and the glaciers, permafrost and sea ice continuing melting. In addition, Global Warming will cause the extreme weather events happen frequently such as heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall events. Furthermore, the risk of species extinctions and decreasing agricultural yields are thought of as the most serious consequences. The influence level of Global Warming varies from region to region, some areas will suffer more severe effects than others.
