... like the decrease of Arctic sea ice and rise of snow line. Moreover, some direct risks relevant to people closely like the increase of extreme climates including intense rainfall and heat waves. Generally the intense rainfall leads to flood risk, which has huge impact on many countries.

... events,ocean acidification,decreased snow cover, etc. From the list given, many of these are a reaction to the warming of the planet which is because of the increased level of heat-trapping carbon dioxide. For 650,000 years the carbon dioxide level has never been over 300 million; but from 1950 to 2014, there has been an increase of 100 million ... seen by most of the world population, there are increases of more hot and cold days and nights in certain areas where the opposite is not that common, many more heat waves, extreme sea levels, global areas of drought, and intense tropical cyc...

... . The first impact of the global warming is human health. Climate change may affect people's health both directly and indirectly. For example, heat stress and other heat related health problems are caused directly by very warm temperatures and high humidity. Untreated, heat stress can be a very serious medical problem. Scientists suspect that, in many places, global warming will increase the number of very ... hot days that occur during the year. More hot days increases the possibility of heat related health problems. Indirectly, ecological disturbances, air pollution, changes in food an...

In conclusion, Human-induced climate change has contributed to changing patterns of extreme weather across the globe, from longer and hotter heat waves to heavier rains. From a broad perspective, all weather events are now connected to climate change. While natural variability continues to play a key role in extreme weather, climate change has shifted ... ...
