Study Notes
- Climate change is causing the cryosphere to melt, leading to sea level rise and heating of the oceans.
- The oceans are becoming more acidic and coral reefs are suffering from bleaching.
- Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, including heatwaves, storms, droughts, and wildfires.
- Agriculture is threatened by shifting weather patterns and unpredictable water supplies.
- Warmer, polluted air is affecting human health, including increased asthma attacks and deaths during heatwaves.
- Infrastructure and transportation are at risk from extreme weather events.
- Habitats on land and in the sea are changing, making them inhospitable for some species.
- The Arctic is losing sea ice, threatening the survival of ice-dependent mammals such as polar bears and walruses.
- Coral and shellfish are suffering due to ocean acidification and coral bleaching.
- Forests are more prone to deadly infestations due to milder winters and longer summers.
