Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide have risen dramatically in the past century. Most scientists agree that this has begun to result in global warming, a slow increase in average temperature worldwide.

Question

What are 3 possible consequences of global warming, in three sentences

Answer 1

Three possible consequences of global warming are rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and heatwaves, and disruption to ecosystems and loss of biodiversity. Rising sea levels can lead to coastal flooding and displacement of populations. Extreme weather events can cause destruction of infrastructure, loss of lives, and economic damage. Ecosystem disruptions can result in the extinction of various species and loss of vital ecosystem services.
