... Many ecosystems are likely to be overwhelmed by climate change. Carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems is likely to peak by 2050 and then weaken, even reverse by 2100, amplifying climate change. 20-30% of plant and animal species face extinction if the world warms by 2.5°C or more. At those tempera ...

Effects of global warming on oceans
Global warming can affect sea levels, coastlines, ocean acidification, ocean currents, seawater, sea surface temperatures, tides, the sea floor, weather, and trigger several changes in ocean bio-geochemistry; all of these affect the functioning of a society.
