The climate-change threats covered in this chapter are Warmer temperatures cause desertification; precipitation causes drought; and more rain causes sea level to rise.
Droughts are exacerbated by low precipitation.Climate change refers to long-term, significant changes in the global climate.The global climate is the interconnected system of the sun, earth, and oceans, wind, rain, and snow, forests, deserts, and savannas, as well as human activity. A place's climate, say, New York, can be described by its rainfall, changing temperatures throughout the year, and so on.
However, the global climate is more than the "average" of local climates. Farmers in the midlatitudes (latitudes 30 to 60 degrees north or south of the equator) may benefit from an extended growing season as the climate warms.
So, desertification; precipitation causes drought; and more rain causes sea level to rise are the threats.
