Climate Change & World Environment

Ecosystem

Affecting humans

Effects of Climate change

Icebergs melting

More effects of Climate change

Effects on animals

Rising sea levels

Relocation of cities

Release of Methane into the atmosphere thus, speeding up the process of climate change

More bush fires/wildfires/fires etc.

The fluctuating temperature disrupts the ecosystem (refer below to teal octopus)

Animals lose habitat causing them to have to adapt to the climate

loss of habitat

extreme weather occuring

Flooding of cities loss of homes

loss of food

lead to endangered species

Causes of climate change

destroys human homes

Food chains and ecological systems alter

kills humans

spray deodorant

Migrating animals, that rely on temperature and food supply for migration timing, are thrown off the correctly functioning ecosystem chain

Farts/ methane

disease migration

Loss of animals

greenhouse gases

Carbon emissions

less food available

Factory farming

block heat from escaping

coral reefs eg. the great barrier reef

less land for the humans to live on

Badly timed migrations, which affects the ecosystem

coral bleaching- causing coral to eventually die

increase water temperatures making ocean waters more acidic

increase in duration and number of tropical storms

Temperature rising

Animals (especially in the ocean{coral reefs}) dying out

pollutants in the air

Allows certain disease to thrive

Which in turn has an effect on the other animals

toxic pollutants can effect vulnerable populations, children and elderly etc.

Animals solely produced for the intent of meat production, as a result, overpopulating the planet

Rapid human production rate

Especially in areas of food shortages

could affect people with asthama

Which increases demand for food and supplies

Unnecessary waste and packaging resulting in excessive garbage production

crop failure

More plastic in the ocean than fish

Traps unnecessary heat

higher temperature

heat exhaustion

heat stroke

mosquitos like hotter weather, malaria is more prominent in hot weather

less rainfall

loss of crops

malnutrition

mental health

losing their families to extreme weather condidtions will affect their mental stability

post-traumatic stress

severe despression

in developing countries, there is less access to mental health services

symptoms are left untreated

invasion and extinction of migrating marine life

kills animals, destroys habitats

heatwaves and hot weather causes heat stress, especially for the vulnerable (sick and elderly)

easier for diseases to spread via water and food

increase in demands of electricity (for air conditioning) , more expensive

reduction of trees and forests, deforestation
