The Impacts and Effects of Climate Change

97% of scientists agree that humans are causing recent climate change.

7.6 billion humans inhabit Earth.

This number is estimated to rise to up to 10.9 billion in 2050.

Like a one man wrecking ball, we dominate our natural world.

As population rises, food production is set to match this increase

40% of land feeds the planet.

Can global crop production meet future demands?

Converting forests to urban land removes vital carbon sinks

We’ve lost 80% of the world’s natural forests

As temperatures surge, sea levels rise with it.

Melting glaciers add to Earth’s total water volume.

Eventually, swallowing coastal cities like Shanghai & New York

Human activity is driving temperature up.

By adding greenhouse gases, it keeps more heat in.

Vehicles, factories and agriculture are the main culprits.

Even though 99% of species that ever existed are now extinct

But currently extinction rates are 100 to 1000 times above normal.
