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.
