If global warming continues at its present rate:
- Sea levels will rise flooding towns and cities and coastal cropland permanently with salt water.
- Heat waves will occur even more regularly than now, killing thousands of people. (70 000 people died in the European heat wave of 2003.)
- Animal and bird habitats will change, forcing them to move, adapt or die. This applies to humans also.
- The economies of many countries will collapse, unable to deal with climate events, flooded cities and destroyed croplands.
- There will be millions of climate refugees seeking safer places to live.

What will happen to the North Pole if global warming continues?
Hot or cold there will always be a north magnetic and a north geographic pole on Earth. The environment in these areas may change through the warming processes of global climate change as well as ice cover and sea level but the poles will remain.
