The inflicted cause on global warming is affecting the ecosystem. The ecosystem involves every living creature, including humans. For a whole ecosystem to run smoothly every living being has to contribute to the system, just like a job. If one portion of the ecosystem fails to do its job, the whole system fails. Riebeek, the NASA science writer mentions how photosynthesis in plants is becoming saturated with carbon because of the carbon increase on earth. If plants start to die off because of the saturation, a whole chain of reactions will occur, like dominos. First there would be animals in general because of lack of plants. Following that human would have a hard time getting the necessary foods to survive. All in all, the ecosystem would be destroyed including humans because of global …show more content…
The seasons throughout the world will started earlier and could possibly last longer than normal. Which might not seem like the worst thing ever, but it is for many. Farmers have to careful watch the weather to fulfill crops needs, meaning not over watering or creating a drought for the crops. Along with that, certain crops grow successful in certain seasons. The unusual changes in the climate will affect the crops and cause problems for farmers to product the needed crops for society. Riebeek predicts the location of where people will be affected more, “Hardest hit will be those living in low-lying coastal areas, and residents of poorer countries who do not have the resources to adapt to changes in temperature extremes and water resources.” Riebeek makes a great point on who will be affected more. Lower income societies will have a hard time cumulating the right resources to adapt to the current climate changes. Along with that point, tropical places could expand and could spread infectious diseases to further locations (Riebeek). The changes in the weather around the world could damage many
