Detailed explanation-1: -Droughts, flooding and melting of polar ice caps have been altered or changed due to climate change.

Detailed explanation-2: -The consequences of climate change now include, among others, intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, rising sea levels, flooding, melting polar ice, catastrophic storms and declining biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The impacts of climate change on different sectors of society are interrelated. Drought can harm food production and human health. Flooding can lead to disease spread and damages to ecosystems and infrastructure. Human health issues can increase mortality, impact food availability, and limit worker productivity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hotter temperatures. As greenhouse gas concentrations rise, so does the global surface temperature. More severe storms. Increased drought. A warming, rising ocean. Loss of species. Not enough food. More health risks. Poverty and displacement.
