Climate Change is affecting all of us. In many quiz or exam or assessment questions come that tell the affects of climate change on us. These slides will help you in preparation of them. Hope it helps you.

* Climate change has many consequences for plants, be it
heat waves, increased flooding, or droughts.
* Besides these knock‐on effects of global warming, rising
carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures
directly affect plant growth, reproduction, and resilience.
Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked
to climate change, have increased wildfires.
* Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health
impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in
coastal areas are additional concerns.
* Climate change also alters the life cycles of plants and
* For example, as temperatures get warmer, many plants are
starting to grow and bloom earlier in the spring and survive
longer into the fall.
4. *Wild animals face new challenges for survival
because of climate change.
*More frequent and intense drought, storms,
heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers
and warming oceans can directly
harm animals, destroy the places they live,
and wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and
communities.
*Some animals are waking from hibernation
sooner or migrating at different times, too.
*
6. *Climate Change is the biggest threat.
*It affects together with resultant changes in
food and water supplies.
*It can indirectly cause increases in a range of
adverse health outcomes, including
malnutrition, diarrhea, injuries, cardiovascular
and respiratory diseases, and water-borne and
insect-transmitted diseases.
*Humans and wild animals face new challenges
for survival because of climate change.
*
8. *Climate change resulting in increased temperature
could impact crop pest insect populations in several
complex ways.
*Although some climate change temperature effects
might tend to depress insect populations, most
researchers seem to agree that warmer
temperatures in temperate climates will result in
more types and higher populations of insects.
*Increased temperature could increase pest insect
populations.
*
11. * More frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting
glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live,
and wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and communities.
* Climate change affects the growth of plants in three ways. First, as CO2 levels
increase, plants need less water to do photosynthesis. .
* But a second effect counters that: A warming world means longer and warmer
growing seasons, which gives plants more time to grow and consume water, drying the
land.
* Assisted migration — picking species and moving them to a new location — and
modifying current habitats to make them more hospitable are other possible actions
that could help species survive in a warming world.
* Climate change has many consequences for plants, be it heat waves, increased
flooding, or droughts.
* Besides these knock‐on effects of global warming, rising carbon dioxide concentrations
and temperatures directly affect plant growth, reproduction, and resilience. Plants
react much more sensitively to fluctuations in temperature than animals.
* They are also unable to seek out warmer or cooler locations. "When temperatures
rise, plants grow taller in order to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller and
their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart.
* Changes in water temperature can affect the environments where fish, shellfish, and
other marine species live. As climate change causes the oceans to become warmer
year-round, populations of some species may adapt by shifting toward cooler areas.
* Oceans are becoming more acidic.
