Name two changes to the Earth that can be expected with 6° C (10.8° F of warming!?Explanation / Answer
1. For 1o rise in global temperature,
(i) hurricanes and typhoons will be more frequent and
(ii) rainfall will be more intense in some selective regions causing floods.
2. For 2o rise in global temperature,
(i) melting of glaciers is intense
(ii) production of crops decrease.
(iii) The Amazon Rainforest will be reduced by 40%
3. For 3o rise in global temperature,
(i) Global warming is out of control now as most of the glaciers are melted.
(ii) Very high sea level reaching upto 25 metres as compared to present sea level. Most of the major cities at the coast are inundated.
4. For 4o rise in global temperature,
(i) Polar ice will melt out complete as sea level rises 50 metres above the present sea level. Hurricanes will be very intense and frequent.
(ii) More intense wildfires will occur in more longer summers and will cause 85 % destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
(iii) Agriculture sector will crash and malnutrition will predominate.
