Some Possible Consequences of Global Warming

Global warming can alter the distribution of the world’s water

resources and can effect the productivity of agricultural regions.

It can cause a rise in global mean sea level.

By changing weather patterns, global warming could cause a

higher frequency and intensity of hurricanes.

It can cause shifts in the paths of large-scale cyclonic storms.

Global warming could also cause changes in frequency and intensity

of heat waves and droughts.
