Climate Effects
Climate effects refer to the changes in weather patterns and environmental conditions caused by global warming and other human activities. These effects can include rising temperatures, increased frequency of extreme weather events like hurricanes and droughts, and shifting ecosystems. As the planet warms, ice caps and glaciers melt, contributing to rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities.
Additionally, climate effects impact biodiversity and wildlife habitats. Many species struggle to adapt to rapid changes, leading to shifts in population dynamics and even extinction. Changes in precipitation patterns can disrupt agriculture, affecting food security and livelihoods for millions of people worldwide.
