The Kyoto Conference Addresses Global Warming

Rainfalls would become much heavier in some areas as a result of increased evaporation. This would lead to increased flooding. 

The tree line would move farther north, causing trees to grow over a broader region. This could consume more carbon dioxide. 

Deserts and arable regions of the world could shift location and change size as a function of shifts in areas of rainfall. The consequences are difficult to predict. 

Tropical diseases might become more prevalent and widespread as Earth warms. 

The intensity of storms and weather systems would probably increase.
