Question

Global warming effects on environment and human health

Answer 1

The most predictable impacts on health may not be the most important.  There is much uncertainty about the potential effects of rapid climate change on ecosystems already under pressure from human activity.  The regional impacts are particularly difficult to predict.  Local changes in precipitation and temperature may make unsustainable some forms of habitation for humans and other species, and the impacts may follow a non-linear trajectory.  Effects on agriculture and water resources may be among the most important (malnutrition, environmental migrations, economic impact).
