We went over U.S. map and climate change.
Finding 4-Widespread Impacts:
Everyone is impacted but especially the children, elderly, sick and poor. With unpredictable weather it is hard to have the right technology in emergencies. Places that are not used to hot weather are getting warmer and hot weather causes their systems such as electricity and air conditioning to break down and not work. This increases deaths because when it is hot out and people no not have AC they can have heat strokes. 75% of coral reefs will be damages by ocean acid which is caused by an increase of carbon dioxide. Caribbean coral cover has decreased 80% in less than 3 decades; this will minimize shelter and resources for animals that live in the ocean. This is due to warmer temperature by bleaching the coral and killing it by disease. Agriculture is affected because of the higher temperatures and less water due to more evaporation. With electricity demands at an all-time high, we need more power from water and we are producing less. This also increases prices for energy which impacts families across the world.
