GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Warmer temperatures, sea level rise and extreme weather will damage property and critical infrastructure, impact human health and productivity, and negatively affect sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Agriculture, wine, energy, and commercial fishing are also industries that could experience climate change’s most severe impacts. As a result, companies operating in those fields must proactively mitigate risk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Higher temperatures are worsening many types of disasters, including storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts. A warmer climate creates an atmosphere that can collect, retain, and unleash more water, changing weather patterns in such a way that wet areas become wetter and dry areas drier.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, people with preexisting health conditions, outdoor workers, people of color, and people with low income, are at an even higher risk because of the compounding factors from climate change.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
