Harsh Effects of Global Warming on Environment
Rising Sea Levels:
- Threatens coastal cities and ecosystems
- Leads to increased flooding and erosion
Increased Extreme Weather Events:
- More frequent and severe heat waves, droughts, and storms
- Can cause widespread damage, loss of life, and displacement
Ocean Acidification:
- Reduces ability of marine organisms to build shells and skeletons
- Threatens marine ecosystems and fisheries
Melting Glaciers and Ice Caps:
- Reduces freshwater availability
- Contributes to sea level rise
- Changes local climates
Altered Plant and Animal Distributions:
- Species move to new areas to find suitable habitats
- Disrupts ecosystems and threatens biodiversity
Reduced Water Quality:
- Increased pollution and warmer temperatures impact water quality
- Harming aquatic life and human health
Increased Wildfires:
- Droughts and heat waves create more flammable conditions
- Can cause widespread destruction and loss of habitat
Economic Impacts:
- Damage from extreme weather events, sea level rise, and other consequences
- Costs for adaptation and mitigation measures
Health Impacts:
- Heat stress, respiratory problems, and other health issues
- Disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations
