- EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
1. Hotter Temperatures
Nearly all land areas experiencing hot temperatures and heat waves. Higher temperatures causes heat-related illnesses and make working outdoors more difficult. Wildfires start more easily. Temperatures in the Arctic have warmed twice as fast as the global average.

 3. Loss of Species
The world is losing species at a rate 1,000 times greater than any other time in recorded human history. One million species are becoming extinct. Forest fires, extreme weather, and invasive pests and diseases are among many threats related to climate change. Some species will survive, but others won't.
