climate change

• Overall impact
  • Warming, precipitation, and imbalanced changes in flora and fauna
  • Some areas may temporarily become cold
  • Coexistence of drought and extreme precipitation
• polar regionand Sea Level
  • Accelerated polar warming
    • Rapid melting of Arctic ice
  • Rapid melting of Arctic ice
    • Reason
      • Ice velvet flowers
      • seawater thermal expansion
    • Impact
      • Coastal areas submerged
      • Freshwater pollution
      • Storm surge intensifies
• Marine ecosystem
  • Acidification and hypoxia
    • Carbon dioxide dissolution leads to seawater acidification
    • The oxygen content in warm water decreases
  • Biodiversity threat
    • Coral reef destruction, affecting fisheries and tourism industry
    • Changes in plankton affect oxygen production in global climate
  • Research support
    • In 2005, Research on Ecological and Evolutionary Trends
    • Royal Society Policy Report
• Freshwater resources
  • Glacier and snow reduction
    • Glacier retreat in mountainous areas affects water supply
  • Drought and desertification
    • Water demand increases but supply decreases
• extreme weather
  • Heat waves and extreme river water conditions
    • Drought, rainstorm and snowstorm are more frequent
  • Hurricane intensification
    • The increase in surface temperature of seawater leads to
  • Socio economic impact
    • Coastal populations, fisheries, and shipping are threatened
• Biological migration and extinction
  • Changes in the distribution of animals and plants
    • Species migration
    • Ecosystem imbalance
  • Adjustment of Agriculture and Horticulture
    • Change in crop planting time
    • Part of the farmland is abandoned
• Health and Disease
  • Disease transmission
    • Spread of new pathogens
  • Direct health threat
    • High temperature leads to fatal air quality deterioration
    • WHO warns of increased risk for vulnerable groups
• National Security
  • Resource Conflict
    • Competition for water, food, and land
  • Climate refugees issue
    • Cross border migration poses security challenges
• Insurance industry response
  • Natural disaster risk
    • Flood, fire, heat wave policies increase
  • Industry adjustment
    • US regulators require disclosure of climate risks
    • Munich Reinsurance company database tracks disasters
• Research and prediction
  • Regional prediction model
    • Provide localized impact data to the public
  • Long term forecasting challenges
