THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The effects of climate change are global warming and this is affecting people's lives and the environment.&nbsp;The earth's climate is changing. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When ice melts and sea levels rise and it has the possibility to impact on a huge number of people. About 80 percent of the world’s population live around coastlines all over the world. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The last two decades included 18 of the warmest years and extreme weather events, such as forest fires, heatwaves and floods, are becoming more frequent both in Europe and elsewhere. Global warming is likely to exceed&nbsp;2°C above pre-industrial levels by 2060, and could even be as much as 5°C by the end of the century. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such a rise in the global temperature will have a devastating impact on nature, bringing about irreversible changes to many ecosystems and a consequent loss of biodiversity.

Higher temperatures and intensified weather events will also result in huge costs for the countries’ economy and hamper countries' ability to produce food.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Michelle Karaolani
