Date: 17-Sep-15 AS Global Challenges Unit 1 Vicious cycle of climate change Higher temperatures More hazardous world. Great impact on water and food supplies, especially for world’s most vulnerable people Increased evaporation More water vapour. More ice sheet and glacier melt. Accelerating changes because of positive feedbacks Worsening greenhouse effect Major issue of rising sea levels. Global warming impacts More uncertainty More extreme weather with more uncertainty. Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns Growing incidence of drought and flood events Growing incidence of severe storms More impacts More food insecurity Conflicts over water crises More vulnerable people plunged into poverty Environmental refugees
