World’s Issues due to Climate Change and Global Warming

 Rising Sea Levels

global warming caused rising temperatures in
the polar regions and ocean which melts the ice
and leads to the rising of sea levels across the
world.

Example:
River erosion in Bangladesh. The numbers at
risk of an annual flood by 2050 in Bangladesh
increased more than eightfold in the study.

 High Temperature
aside from the extreme heat of weather felt by
humans, it causes frequent storms and drought
that come worst as the global temperature
continue to rise.

Example:
Filipinos have varying concerns on drought as
Philippines experiences El Niñ o

 Death of the animals and other species

animals and other species are also affected by
global warming. They lost their habitats and
ecosystem due to alters in temperature across
the world. Just like the polar bears in the polar
regions which struggle due to the melting of ice
in their habitats.

Examples:
An annual census of wild reindeer by the Norwegian Polar Institute found 200 had
started to death over winter due to climate change.

 Flooding and Wildfires

as climate change brought extreme
atmospheric phenomena, it creates flooding
due to continuous and heavy rains while
wildfires occur in the forests caused by the
extreme heat.

Examples:
Researchers have found that human-caused climate change had an impact on
Australia’s recent devastating wildfires.
 Food and Water Scarcity
the supplies of food and access to clean and safe
water are also limited as climate change
becomes worst. Agriculture cannot produce
enough food stocks for the people and lacks
water resources due to the drought of climate
change.

Examples:
National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Ernesto Pernia on
Friday warned climate change poses risks to the agriculture sector's growth and the
country's food supply

 Less predictable climate

the living norm of the people is affected because

of the unpredictable climate. The activities and
work of people cannot be done well throughout
the day because of the weather. Such in
construction site, they cannot dry the concretes
built due to the unexpected heavy rains that
pour in their location.

Examples:
Hurricanes Irma, Jose, and Katia, seen here moving across the Caribbean Sea and
Atlantic Ocean, were three of the many hurricanes that made 2017 a record year.
Impact attribution research is attempting to tease out when and to what degree
climate change has exacerbated such extreme events.
