How can global warming cause flooding?
Global warming can cause flooding because climate change is melting glaciers and ice caps. This is raising sea-levels and low-lying Pacific Island countries and other coastal areas will be in danger of flooding. Climate change is also changing the climate, meaning there may be more severe storms, more often, high tide surges, and more monsoon rains in some places, less in others.
What is climate change and what causes it to change?
Climate change refers to the recent changes in weather and climate that are being caused by global warming.Nature has always caused changes in weather. These changes have occurred for millions of years. We know that there are 100K year cycles as well as shorter cycles. These involve sunspot activity, planet alignment and so on. The planet will always change, that is the only constant.However, the climate change that the world is worried about is being caused by global warming. As the earth's temperature rises, more and more of the predicted changes are beginning to appear:More extreme weather events (storms, floods, droughts etc).More frequent weather events (more often).Rising sea levels, especially if glaciers and the Greenland ice cap melts.Destruction of some Pacific Island countries, as well as large areas of any low lying land.Loss of species' habitats as plants and animals have to deal with rising temperatures.Famine and deaths in some countries, especially in Africa.
When will global warming permanently affect Long Island?

How does climate change affect emerging nations?
Emerging nations will not have the resources to adapt to climate change. If their crop lands become dry, then famine is the likely result. African countries suffer famine now, and global warming will only make it worse. Low lying countries will suffer from rising sea-levels. Pacific Island nations are already in trouble. Countries like Bangladesh will suffer widespread sea water floods.

What are some short term effects of climate change?
Peace between India and Bangladesh... sort of. Climate change has caused the sea levels in the Bay of Bengal to rise so much that the water has submerged several islands off the coast of India and Bangladesh including the much disputed New Moore Island which, thanks to climate change, is no more. Hence, India and Bangladesh no longer have to fight over who owns it. see link below
How can humans affect islands?
Humans can have both positive and negative impacts on islands. Positively, human activities such as sustainable tourism can contribute to the local economy and conservation efforts. However, negative human impacts can include habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, pollution, and climate change, which can lead to loss of biodiversity and damage to island ecosystems. It is important for humans to minimize their negative impacts and promote sustainable practices to preserve and protect island environments.
