Climate Change: a comprehensive overview of its consequences

Abstract

Climate change is increasingly discussed in national and international politics,science, technology and many other news subjects and has become a growing threat in mostrecent years. Climate change is often misconceived as warmer weather at inappropriate timesof year but in reality is a deeply complex issue that has many consequences on many differentaspects of life. The way that it affects one species is likely to trickle up or down and affect anyother species with which it interacts. Side effects of climate change may impact the plants andanimals that we eat, how things grow and are made, disease prevalence and so much more.Thus, it is important to examine and understand the extent to which it can cause harm. Thisunderstanding will promote advocacy for climate change awareness and mitigation strategiesthat may be able to slow its progress and prevent as much damage as is currently predicted.
