GLOBAL WARMING
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/
Impact of Global
Warming
• Heat waves, floods, storms, fires and droughts
• Deaths due to malnutrition, diseases that cause
diarrhea
• Diseases related to higher concentrations of
ground-level ozone
• Wider distribution of diseases carried by insects,
rodents, etc
• Melting glaciers, early snowmelt and severe
droughts will cause more dramatic water
shortages
Impact of Global
Warming
• Rising sea levels will lead to coastal flooding
• Warmer sea surface temperatures will fuel more
intense hurricanes
• Forests, farms and cities will face troublesome
new pests and more mosquito-borne diseases
• Disruption of habitats such as coral reefs and
alpine meadows could drive many plant and
animal species to extinction
Innovative solution to this
problem
