Climate change causes polar ice caps to melt, raising sea levels and flooding low-lying areas, alters weather patterns leading to more storms or reduced rainfall, and increases species extinction rates.
Il cambiamento climatico causa lo scioglimento delle calotte polari, innalzando il livello del mare e inondando aree a bassa altitudine, altera i modelli meteorologici causando più tempeste o riducendo le piogge, e aumenta il tasso di estinzione delle specie.

| Back | Polar ice caps will melt and raise the sea levels, flooding low altitude areas, Weather patterns change, which causes more storms in some areas and reduced rainfall in others, More species go extinct the higher the temperature gets. |
