Forum 1.7 - Dangers of Change?

9/10/2018

Central Question: What are the scientific foundations for climate change?

Guiding Thought Question: What is the biggest danger facing humans for inaction against climate change? What is the result and how will humans be impacted?

Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the natural and human causes for global climate change and how the change can have an effect on the planet's plants and animals.

If climate change heats up the earth and causes the ice caps and glaciers to melt, it will raise the sea level. This will flood the coastlines and, because the majority of people live near the coast, this would be catastrophic.

The biggest danger is degradation/collapse of the life sustaining biogeochemical cycles. If these collapse, all life will collapse and humans will die.

The biggest problem for humans that will come of climate change is more intense severe weather and melting sea ice, raising the levels of the ocean which will contribute to coastal erosion and more flooding.

The biggest danger facing humans for inaction against climate change is the potential loss of species due to their lands being lost.

The rise in sea level, temperature changes, melting of glaciers and ice caps, and level of CO2 concentration is also rising.

The greatest danger is the melting ice caps, because the more they melt, the more storms/hurricanes/tsunaime will happen, and that will cause a ton of damage, as well as the temperature will rise, killing off many of the crops.

The danger is pollution especially since the planet is over populated this will cause a change in climate that affects resources available.

As the climate changes the wether will change and ice caps will melt, raising the sea level and flooding the coasts

All the things we need to survive will die off. therefor we die off. As temperatures change the plants wont be able to survive, those animals that need the plants will then die off and so forth. so were doomed

The most dangerous thing is probably global warming and that a lot of people dont believe that anything is happening. Some believe that ignorance is bliss but in this case it's not. Global warming is causing the ice caps to melt and causing some of the coastal states to sink.

With climate change, things will melt and the ocean can change temperatures that will mess up marine life and land.

but there's a lot of factors that go into it.

The sea level would rise because the ice caps would melt.

the cost is rising and people have to move, places will get more crowed prices of housing will go up and affect the lower class

When climate change happens it melts our glaciers, this leads to flooding which would kill off animals and humans, which is very bad.

The biggest danger facing humans for inaction against climate change is the rise in temperature changes, which causes glaciers to melt and this leads to the raising of the sea level.

Increase in sea level, the melting of ice will cause people to move from their homes into places that aren’t near the ocean or water. If people move then the population in certain areas will increase and the housing will go up which will effect the lower class the most.

So the rise in temperatures can change the way our food is grown. Crop seasons could drastically change and certain animals might die off quicker. Also the whole fact that the rising sea levels could flood a lot of areas.

The raising temperatures will cause more flooding and might cause more erosion to the land so people living close to the coast will have to eventually move.

Many humans will lose their homes or their lives. Climate change will just alter where we put things

Climate change will affect the oceans and farmers directly, and indirectly affect everything else until the ocean and agriculture have been depleted.

melting polar caps, rising coastlines, less crop production, animals dying out.
the biggest danger is less living area well the population rises and not enough food... but that's just my opinion so I could be wrong.

The greatest danger is the ice caps melting because it causes sea levels to rise which would flood the areas where people live.

The most dangerous consequence for inaction against climate change would be global warming and flooding of the oceans. Both of these kill people or things that we need to survive. The large populations at coastlines will be drastically affected with the rising ocean levels, and global warming kills off crops and other nutrients that we rely on.

Climate change affects animals and the environment, it can melt the ice glaciers causing the increase the sea level making the ocean warmer witch can affect the fish living there.

If climate change heats up the earth which is make hole in the ozone layers
