EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
& GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming and other aspects of climate change
are realities seriously affecting the Earth already. The majority
of the scientific community agrees that humans play a major role
in climate change, although there is much debate over the severity
of future effects from global warming and climate change.
The expected effects of global warming are many and various, both
for the environment and for human life. These effects include sea
level rise, repercussions to agriculture, reductions in the ozone
layer, increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events,
damage of ecosystems and the spread of disease. The fact sheets
