Probably the most worrying impact of global warming will be the rise in sea level, especially in countries such as Bangladesh or the Netherlands, which have large areas close to or below sea level.

A:
  1. The polar ice caps melt, raising the sea levels.
  2. There would be a change in the major oceanic currents, resulting warm water being redirected into previously cooler areas.
  3. It would change the nature of many ecosystems. If species could not migrate quickly enough to a new,appropriate habitat or adapt quickyl enough to the changed conditions in their current habitat, they could become extinct.
  4. Change in global rainfall patterns could result, with all extra water in the seas, there would be more evaporation from the surface, and so more rainfall in most areas.
  5. Changes in agricultural practices would be a must as some pests become more abundant. Higher temperatures might allow some pests to complete their life cycles faster.
