Answer:
The main threats of climate change, stemming from the rising temperature of Earth's atmosphere include rising sea levels, ecosystem collapse and more frequent and severe weather. Rising temperatures from human-caused greenhouse gas emissions affects planet-wide systems in various ways.
The effects of climate change on humans are far reaching and include effects on physical and mental health, environmental devastation, destruction of homes, forced displacement, mass migration, conflict over water and food, internal and international security, potential breakdown of society, energy, and transport. Climate change has brought about possibly irreversible alterations to Earth's geological, biological, and ecological systems. These changes have led to the emergence of large-scale environmental hazards to human health; such as extreme weather,increased danger of wildfires, loss of biodiversity,stresses to food-producing systems, and the global spread of infectious diseases In addition, climatic changes were estimated to cause over 150,000 deaths annually in 2002, with the World Health Organization estimating this number will increase to 250,000 deaths annually between 2030 and 2050.
