Environmental Effects and Effects of Climate Change
Increase in forest growth in northern Europe
Ice melts so wildlife declines such as Adelie penguins on the Antarctic peninsula and Polar bear and seals cause they have nowhere to live
Increase drought in areas such as the mediterranean
Coral bleaching and decline in biodiversity such as the Great Barrier Reef
Forests in North America may experience more pests, disease and forest fires
Warmer rivers affect marine wildlife for example the food supply will decrease for the Ganges river dolphins
Sea levels rise increasing flooding and coastal erosion so defences are under increasing strain
Increased risk of diseases such as skin cancer and heat stroke as temperatures increase
Winter related deaths decrease with milder winters
lower rainfall causing shortages in food for orangutans in Borneo
Less ice in the Arctic Ocean increases shipping and extraction of gas and oil reserves
Drought reduces food and water supplies in sub Saharan Africa
Water scarcity in the south and southeast of the uk
Flood risk increases repairs and insurance costs
Flood risk can also cause migration and overcrowding in low risk areas
Tourism industries may decline such as the skiing industry in the Alps
Crops yields affected maize will decrease by up to 12% in the south America
Extreme weather increase investment in prediction and protection
Yet will increase in northern Europe and require more irrigation
