Impacts of Climate Change
Global warming is causing ice to melt- RISE IN SEA LEVEL- melting ice and thermal expansion increase the volume of water
and Permafrost to thaw- ground that is permanently frozen these are natural sinks of CO2 can cause buildings to collapse but easier to extract raw materials
Global warming is also causing other changes in the climate- increase in extreme weather this then causes the ecology, agriculture and tourism
Emissions scenarios are used to predict impacts of global warming- they can see what would happen if the temperature rose and the different impacts caused
Could lead to tipping point were temperatures rise that it causes catastrophic and irreversible impacts
