what are the three most serious threats to our environment as a result of global warming

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

off the top of my head 1) rising sea levels 2) increasing sea temperature changes (which kills of species that like colder water) 3) weather changes (eg: more intense hurricanes)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

rising sea levels is a serious threat esp to cities like new orleans since that city is at sea level and some parts are below sea level either the city will have to build higher levees or the city would have to relocate somewhat

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for 2) I think there's a species of coral which is dying off because of the temperature increase, not sure but I do know that the temperature changes are affecting migration patterns of some species
