Climate Change & World Environment
Ecosystem
Animals lose habitat causing them to have to adapt to the climate
Food chains and ecological systems alter
Migrating animals, that rely on temperature and food supply for migration timing, are thrown off the correctly functioning ecosystem chain
Which in turn has an effect on the other animals
invasion and extinction of migrating marine life
Affecting humans
extreme weather occuring
destroys human homes
kills humans
heatwaves and hot weather causes heat stress, especially for the vulnerable (sick and elderly)
disease migration
easier for diseases to spread via water and food
Loss of animals
less food available
pollutants in the air
toxic pollutants can effect vulnerable populations, children and elderly etc.
could affect people with asthama
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
higher temperature
heat exhaustion
heat stroke
mosquitos like hotter weather, malaria is more prominent in hot weather
increase in demands of electricity (for air conditioning) , more expensive
Effects of Climate change
Icebergs melting
Rising sea levels
Relocation of cities
Release of Methane into the atmosphere thus, speeding up the process of climate change
The fluctuating temperature disrupts the ecosystem (refer below to teal octopus)
Temperature rising
Animals (especially in the ocean{coral reefs}) dying out
Allows certain disease to thrive
crop failure
More effects of Climate change
More bush fires/wildfires/fires etc.
kills animals, destroys habitats
Flooding of cities loss of homes
increase in duration and number of tropical storms
less rainfall
Effects on animals
loss of habitat
loss of food
lead to endangered species
coral reefs eg. the great barrier reef
coral bleaching- causing coral to eventually die
increase water temperatures making ocean waters more acidic
Badly timed migrations, which affects the ecosystem
Causes of climate change
spray deodorant
Farts/ methane
greenhouse gases
block heat from escaping
Traps unnecessary heat
Carbon emissions
Unnecessary waste and packaging resulting in excessive garbage production
More plastic in the ocean than fish
Factory farming
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
Which increases demand for food and supplies
reduction of trees and forests, deforestation
