What are the serious effects
of climate change?
Climate Change, part 2
All across the world, people are taking
action because climate change has serious
impacts, locally and globally. Scientists
predicted that warming oceans and
melting glaciers due to global warming and
climate change could cause sea levels to
rise 7-23 inches by the year 2100.
Worldwide, densely populated coastal
communities and the infrastructure that
That support them would be affected (such as city buildings
and homes, roads, ports, and wastewater treatment plants).
Some would be flooded or more vulnerable to the storm
damage. In flat terrain, the shoreline could move many miles
inland. Other effects are also serious. In some places, floods
and/or drought could become more frequent and more
severe. Even seemingly less dramatic local changes in
temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture could severely
impact many things important to human life and all life around
us, including:
• natural ecosystems
• Agriculture and food supplies
• Human health
• Forestry
• Water resources and availability
• Energy use
• Transportation
Many people are concerned that
we are losing time to make a
difference. Climate change and
its effects may be irreversible.
Life could become very difficult
for some populations – plant,
animal and human. Species,
cultures, resources, and many
lives could be lost.
