Climate change effects include rising global temperatures, which lead to more frequent and severe weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods. These changes disrupt ecosystems and can threaten wildlife, as many species struggle to adapt to their shifting habitats. Additionally, melting ice caps and glaciers contribute to rising sea levels, which can inundate coastal areas and displace communities. Changes in precipitation patterns also affect agriculture, making it challenging for farmers to grow crops and secure food supplies, impacting both local and global economies.
