shifting biomes/ecosystems & shift in zonation
shift in biomes lead to malaria cases & denjue fever
droughts and floods (more in LEDCs)
Cloud cover (protect overheating)
Ocean uptake of carbon dioxide leading to ocean acidification
Increased vegetation growth absorbing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Release of methane from thawing permafrost further amplifying global warming
Melting Arctic ice leading to lower albedo and increased absorption of heat
Displacement of communities
Loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction
Disruption of ecosystems and food chains
Increased frequency and intensity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires
Rising temperatures leading to melting ice caps and rising sea levels
Change in weather due to change in climate
Use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides
Agriculture and livestock
Deforestation for agricultural expansion and methane emissions from livestock
Waste disposal and management practices
Manufacturing processes and production of goods
Deforestation and Land use Changes
Burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation
