Consequences of rising average global temperatures include:
- Sea level rises
- Inundation of coastal areas as a result of sea level rises, increased storm surges and erosion
- Loss of arctic ice caps, glacial ice and sea ice
- More prolonged severe droughts
- More frequent severe floods
- More intense storm activity
- Loss of biodiversity

Judy- Atmosphere and oceans warming so much that sea ice, ice caps and glaciers melt, raising sea levels and flooding coastal cities worldwide.
- Changes in climate will affect the habitats of humans, animals, birds, fish and insects in ways that will threaten their food supplies and livelihood. Those who cannot adapt or move will die.
Global warming is manifested as a 0.8°C rise in average global temperature since 1900
1. Increase in the intensity of tropical storms is suspected
2. Anticipated sea level rise - although the predicted sea level rise has been much less than predicted, possibly due to the thickening of the ice in most of Antarctica.- although SOME areas of Antarctic ice have shrunk, but overall Antarctic ice has increased significantly
4. Arctic ice in decline along with continued glacier ice loss from around the world.
5. Increase in droughts and fires - possibly due to changes in weather driven by global warming
6. Spread of tropical disease to more northern latitudes. Migration of species.
7 Increased plant growth in some regions as temperatures and carbon dioxide levels increase - with decreased plant growth in others due to increasing temperatures, decreased local rainfall, and increased evaporation.

What are two things you can reduce?
pollution and Global Warming
What is the effects of carbonate racks to global climate?
There are two effects of carbonate rocks to the global climate. The two effects of carbonate rocks to the global climate are dissolution and deposition.
What is the overall rise in earth's average temperature called?
The rise in temperature is called Global Warming. This global warming of the earth is causing Climate Change. These two things are not the same thing.
Is there a relationship between the two atmospheric effects of global warming and the holes in the ozone layer?
Global warming and the ozone layer depletion are caused by different factors. Global warming is mainly due to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, while ozone layer depletion is primarily caused by chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). However, both phenomena can have negative impacts on the Earth's ecosystem and can interact in complex ways, such as influencing the distribution of heat in the atmosphere.
What was alarming about the 1990s in regards to global warming?
In the 1990s, there was growing scientific consensus on the impact of human activities on global warming, and evidence showed that greenhouse gas emissions were contributing to rising global temperatures. This raised concerns about the long-term effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, extreme weather events, and threats to ecosystems and biodiversity. The urgency to address global warming and its potential consequences became increasingly alarming during this time.
