Effects of global warming on sea levels. Sea level is rising because water over 4 °C (39 °F) expands when it gets warmer. Probably more important is the melting of ice sheets. The Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets are melting. Sea level will rise between half and one meter by 2100, and between 2 and 7 meter by 2300. Cause of Concern. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global temperature is likely to rise by about 1-3.5 Celsius by the year 2100. It has also suggested that the climate might warm by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next 100 years. Their beach habitats get developed. Harmful marine debris and oil spills pollute their waters and beaches. Now, climate change is exposing sea turtles to even greater existential threats. Sea level rise and stronger storms will erode and destroy their beach habitats. Warming oceans will change ocean currents, potentially introducing sea turtles Exacerbating global warming isn't the only negative impact of tropical deforestation. It also wipes out biodiversity: More than half of the world's plant and animal species live in tropical Global warming and climate change have the potential to alter biological systems. More specifically, changes to near-surface air temperatures will likely influence ecosystem functioning and thus the biodiversity of plants, animals, and other forms of life.The current geographic ranges of plant and animal species have been established by adaptation to long-term seasonal climate patterns. axdFF.
