Global Warming Impacts

Global warming impacts drastic changes in the world's environment, ecosystems, and human life. Rising temperatures melt polar ice caps and glaciers, increasing sea levels that flood coastal regions and the uninhabited parts of the world. Weather patterns become increasingly extreme and record-breaking in terms of heat waves, hurricanes, droughts, and torrential rains. Ecosystems are disrupted, threatening wildlife and biodiversity as species struggle to adapt to changing conditions. Agriculture is also affected, producing crops that do not yield as much in certain areas and finds itself with a significant food shortage.
