Scientists say that, as a consequence of human activity, global average temperatures are now rising faster than they have at any time in the past. Climate change is one of the predicted results, and includes more prolonged droughts in some areas, more severe and frequent flooding in others, as well as more severe storm activity. Rising sea levels will affect the littoral zone that provides feeding and breeding grounds for fish, as well as inundating coastal and riverine areas.
In past periods of temperature change, this occurred over a period of centuries and even thousands of years, allowing species to adapt or evolve to meet the environmental challenge. This time, change is occurring in a period of only decades, so that many species will not be able to either adapt or evolve and will simply become extinct, leading to a major loss of biodiversity.
With rising sea levels and increased storm surges, we can expect the destruction or abandonment of valuable coastal properties and, in other cases, the total displacement of entire populations. Many of the other direct consequences of climate change will result in economic losses, higher insurance premiums and potential food shortages.

Rapidly dropping temperatures are often associated with high-pressure systems moving in, which can cause the barometric pressure to rise. This occurs as the cold air descends and compresses, leading to a denser air mass and higher pressure readings on the barometer.
Some consequences of a warmer Earth include more frequent and severe natural disasters, such as hurricanes and wildfires, rising sea levels leading to coastal flooding, and changes in ecosystems that can disrupt biodiversity and harm food production. Additionally, warmer temperatures can exacerbate health issues, such as heat-related illnesses and the spread of diseases.
Three changes expected with climate change/global warming are: 1) warmer average temperatures and more frequent heatwaves; 2) melting glacial ice and rising sea levels; 3) more extreme weather, including more intense hurricanes

There are far more consequences than two when it comes to an increase in global temperatures, but two consequesnces are rising sea levels, and animals migrating to new areas that they do not belong.

Spalling: To break into fragments or small pieces."Spalling can be described as the breaking of layers or pieces of concrete from the surface of a structural element when it is exposed to the high and rapidly rising temperatures"

The price of gold is expected to keep rising. This is because of the state of the economny, demand for gold, and the continuing decrease of the value of a dollar.
