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
