- Climate change
- Effects
- Ice melting
- Severe threats to polar creatures
- Shoreline erosion in Arctic
- Sea levels rise
- Loss of large areas of ice can increase global warming because less oof the sun's energy would be reflected away from the Earth
- Hurricanes and storms are likely to be stronger
- Extra heat in the air or the oceans is a form of energy and storms and hurricanes are driven by such energy
- Less fresh water would be available
- Heavier rainfalls leads to more rapid movement of water from the atmosphere back to the oceans, reducing our ability to store and use it
- Some disease will spread
- As temperature increases and rainfall patterns changes and summer become longer, insects can remain active for longer seasons and increases the risk for people who live there
- Increased heat, precipitation and humidity can allow tropical and subtropical insects to move from where infectious disease grow into new places
- As temperatures warm, allows ticks to move into new regions

- As temperatures warm, allows ticks to move into new regions
- Ice melting
- Effects
- Sea level rising
- global sea level has increased by about 17 cm
- Global temperature rising
- surface temperatures continue to increase
- Warming oceans
- oceans have absorbed the increased heat
- Shrinking ice sheets
- ice sheets have decreased in mas and are starting to melt quickly
- Ocean acidification
- acidity of surface of ocean waters has increased
- the increase is the result of the emissions of carbon dioxide in to the atmosphere so more is being absorbed into the oceans
- Extreme events
- number of record high temperature events have been increasing
- number of record low temperature events have been decreasing
- increased numbers of intense rainfall events
- Climate change
- Ecosystems will change
- Warming could force species to migrate to higher latitudes or higher elevation where temperature are more condusive to their survival
