Rising sea levels will result in
low-lying coastal areas at risk
from increased in flooding.
Places like New Orleans, New
York, London, will be vulnerable
and could end up submerged
underwater.
If Greenland was to melt
completely, it could shut off
the ocean current that brings
heat to the UK. It will result in
a large decrease in
temperature across Europe,
which could trigger a small ice
age.
Insects will migrate north and
south of the equator as
temperatures increases. These
insects will bring diseases that
can affect humans. For
example, mosquitos that can
transmit malaria are only found
in hot temperatures.
The Arctic will begin to melt
more rapidly. Polar bears will
die from drowning as their
habitat is destroyed.
Plants and animals will find it
harder to survive in hotter
temperatures and will die. A
food shortage may lead to war
and conflicts.
As more CO2 is trapped in the
atmosphere, breathable air
becomes harder to come by and
could cause respiratory
diseases.
Hurricanes will intensify as
oceans get hotter, and cause
damage as they reach land.
Hurricanes will also begin to
appear in places further away
from the equator as world
ocean temperatures rise.
Drought will increase which will
result in a water crisis where
access to safe, drinking water
will become scarce. This could
lead to increased
desertification (the formation
of barren/desert lands).
There will be millions of
refugees as people flee from
floods, drought or famine.
Places that take refugees in
will see resources strained to
help them i.e. food, water,
housing.
