Consequences of global climate change
Global warming
Negative
Climate
Long term change
Others effect like
Pressure precipitation
humidity
Wind (speed)
Global temperature increases
Extreme events
Storms
stronger
droughts
Cause casualties
fire
erosion
landslides
Cause casualties
sedimentation
avalanches
pests and diseases
Cause economic loss and increase of death rate
Sea level rises
through thermal expansion and ice melt
River
Flooding
occurs more frequently
Bank erosion
occurs more frequently
Tsunami occurs more frequently
Coastal
Coastal erosion
increasingly severe
flooding
increasingly severe
salination
increasingly severe
Environment & ecosystem
North Pole South Pole and Greenland
Melt in a faster rate
No home for the animals living there
Coral
Will die if reached a standard of temperature
Animals living in the North or South Pole
Polar bears
eg. not easy to hunt
Seals
Hard to survive
High risk of death or extinction
Positive
Increase of the sea water temperature
Water cycle become faster
increasing amount of rainfall -> water
For agricultural uses
For water supply
Increased forest cover in high latitudes
decreasing albedo
less reflective to sunlight
increasing warming
Global dimming
Negative
Extreme events
Snowball effects in 8 billion years ago
Lives become imposible
Grey ashes covering the earth
Higher albedo
less sunlight
Not enough solar energy for plants to grow, human and animals to live
Temperature decreases
so cold
If the temperature drop drastically
may cause massive extinction
Water cycle become slower
decrease of rainfall and precipitation
Positive
Decrease of temperature
suitable for animals to live
seals
polar bears
coral
