The effects should be short and briefly explained, not lengthy ones.
Hi Desmond Agyemang,
Please go through the attached article for the answer;
Best of Luck
1. Biome latitudinal shifts, which would affect human activities, including food supply.
2. Changes in land cover.
3. Submergence of near coastal ecosystems and human communities.
4. Changes in air pollutant concentrations, including PM and tropospheric O3.
5. Changes in albedo (related to #2), but exacerbates temperature increases.
6. Changes in urban heat islands (due mainly to #2 and #5), probably worsening.
7. Glacial changes, e.g. changes in melt/freeze cycles in polar regions and alpine areas.
8. Changes in niches and ecosystems, including loss of habitat for present and future endangered and threatened species (i.e. loss of biodiversity, at least in certain areas).
9. Migration pattern changes, e.g. loss of stopover habitat for migratory birds.
10. Secondary diseases, such cardiovascular stresses from higher ambient temperatures, and possibly more infectious diseases with increase in indoor (air conditioned) activities.
11. Energy demands would also increase with increased air conditioning demands.
Even though its approximately 10 years since you wrote that piece, the information it contains is just genius!
