If people continue to cut down forests and burn fossil fuels at increasing rates, what will happen to Earth's climate?

What will be an ideal response?


These processes increase global warming. The more people engage in such processes, the more severe the climate disruption will be. Many effects of global warming are predicted. These effects include: rising sea levels, flooding of coastal communities, disruption of ecosystems, decreased crop yields, and disruption of precipitation patterns. The specific effects of global warming at particular locations cannot be definitely predicted.
