The Implications of Global Warming


  • Higher sea levels lead to larger scale erosion and flooding
  • Some activities that depend on the existence of sufficient sea ice, such as hunting, traveling and fishing, will be threatened
  • The sudden changes make weather prediction more difficult
  • Certain animal species could be threatened by the changes in climate or forced to behave out of character
  • Communities are forced to abandon their homes
