How will climate change affect people and the environment?
Health
Air Pollution
Climate change is likely to increase the amount of bad ozone in the air because more ozone is created when the temperature is warm.
Temperature -related illnesses
heat wave
climate change will also make the "heat wave", children、and people who are already sick, they can be especially dangerous. Extreme heat can cause illnesses as well.
On the other side, the number of illnesses and deaths related tp extreme cold.
Forest
Sensitive to many effect of climate change ( Drought, wildfires, mountain pin beetle)
Protect Water quality
Provide home for PLANTS and Animals
Providing people with wood
Agriculture
Benifits some plants but harmful to others
storms; changing rainfall pattern; flood
Crops only grow under right temperature and enough water
pests and weeds
Plants, Animals, and Ecosystem
Plants and animals need specific climate (temperature and rainfall patterns) to survive and thrive
Global warming make species moving from warmer to cooler region (more northern or higher area)
Global warming alters the life cycle of animals and plants
Longer life time for plants, changing time for hibernation and migration
Shifting and eventually disappearing habitats
Species extinction and reduction of biodiversity
The lost of one species affects more species, creating a multiplying chain affect
Each species plays a role in a habitat
Energy
As climate change causes precipitation patterns to change.
Climate change could also make it harder to produce certain types of electricity, such as could also make it harder to produce certain types of electricity, such as hydropower.
might not have enough water in the future.
harder to produce certain types of electricity, such as hydropower.
Water Supplies
Many parts of the world already have very little water, and climate change could make this problem worse
Impact: they will affect the amount of water in lakes, rivers and streams
Rising temperatures
Changing precipitation patterns
Increasing droughts
recreation
warmer temperature
droughts
ice fishing
coastline damage
reduce opporunities for skiing
heat waves
other sports
rising sea level
wash away beaches
less space
increase the rate of erosion
some may disappear
