What are the likely effects this global warming could cause?
Scientists are still speculating as to what effects global warming will have. Below is a list of potential dangers we could face if the earth continues to warm up at its current rate. Ecosystem Disruption Increased temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns could mean destabilising of ecosystems which may threaten crops across the world. This may lead to famine in under developed regions. Drought conditions will increase Changes in the amount of rainfall may affect water supplies and quality, which in turn could affect agriculture, fisheries, recreation, and drinking water. Sea levels will rise Sea levels rise may endanger coastal areas in the Americas and Europe . Island nations like Indonesia, where more than 45 million people live at coastal elevations within a metre of sea level, will be devastated. Diseases will spread further and faster Warmer, wetter weather will create ideal conditions for the insects and rodents that carry malaria, encephalitis, Hantavirus, cholera, dengue
