An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, and a probable expansion of subtropical deserts.Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects of the warming include more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events including heatwaves, droughts and heavy rainfall events, species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes, and changes in crop yields .Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe, with projections being more robust in some areas than others.
The effects of global warming
are the ecological and social changes caused by the rise in global
temperatures. Evidence of observed climate change includes the
instrumental temperature record, rising sea levels, and decreased snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere.Projections of future climate change suggest further global warming, sea level rise, and an increase in the frequency of some extreme weather events.
