One impact of climate change has been the loss of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, resulting in a rise in global sea levels. Which of these describes a potential way this could directly influence human activity?
Impact of Climate Change (Global Warming) - glacier melting & global see level rise : influence on human activity
Explanation:
Extreme Flooding - High sea levels imply more inflow into other water bodies like rivers, lakes etc
Biodiversity Loss - Many organisms can continue their existence only on extremely cold glaciers - eg (blue bear)
Further accelerated global warming - Glaciers have important role in absorbing earth heat, maintaining its coolness. Their melting leads to further global warming.
Scarcity of freshwater - Glaciers & snow (salty) water cant be consumed. Increase in this water has reduced proportionality of freshwater that can be consumed
