Not only making people more angry and violent, climate change also hinders air traffic, making volcanoes more active…
Climate change is causing more and more unpredictable impacts. Experts have made some predictions about the terrifying future consequences of climate change.

This will make air travel more risky. A new study from the University of Reading (UK) has found a link between climate change and clean-air turbulence.
Research shows that air flows suddenly increase by up to 149% as a result of strong winds. These gas streams are narrow, fast-flowing, and meandering near the apex of the troposphere.
This is the space that airlines often choose to save time and fuel, so the irregular flows will greatly hinder future flights, when climate change has a strong impact. stronger.

Disasters like the 1912 Titanic may pose a more frequent threat in the future, and the International Ice Patrol will have a hard time doing its job.
This past April, more than 400 icebergs “frozen” the sea lanes in the northern Atlantic Ocean, which forced ships to travel further as they had to circumnavigate the ice sheets, not only wasting fuel. whether the whole time.
Climate change, global warming will cause more and more ice sheets to break off from Greenland. And people will face more difficulties and challenges when going to sea.

The heat energy from the warming will provide more “fuel” for storm clouds, the thunder storms will be more numerous and more intense.
Today, experts agree that climate change is causing the intensity and frequency of storms to increase. Warming sea water also contributes to providing energy for tropical storms or tornadoes, hail.

You may find it hard to believe that when a geological phenomenon is linked to climate change, the activities on our planet are surprisingly related.
In Iceland, volcanoes and glaciers have coexisted for thousands of years. As glaciers melt due to warming temperatures, dormant volcanoes will be awakened. This happened 12,000 years ago in Iceland and could well happen again in the future.

Many social psychologists warn that climate warming could make people more inhospitable, short-tempered and even violent.
Temperature has a great impact on our mood, in which high temperature will affect the physical and physiological metabolism and thereby affect the mood and behavior of people.
In a 2013 study, researchers found that when it’s hot, the frequency of violent incidents increases by 4% and conflicts by 14%.

It is often said that climate change leads to warming of sea levels and increases droughts and storms, and it also makes showers and hail more irregular.
This contributes to the creation of faster-flowing rivers , where more silt and impurities will be dumped into the sea. Make the ocean darker.
This phenomenon has appeared along the coast of Norway, where water flows from rivers make the sea water darker.
Many people will have problems with allergies. (Photo Science Photo Liberty).
Warmer temperatures will affect plants, prolonging the bloom time as well as the earlier blooming season, plants that are susceptible to human allergies such as dandelions, ragweed plants will spread pollen. flowers in the air.
In the last three decades, the amount of pollen in the air has doubled in the US, and people with allergies must be concerned about this.
Animals will “shrink” themselves. (Photo by Fotolia).
As evolution continues to adapt to climate change, these mammals will gradually become smaller.
About 55 million years ago, a hot and humid global event called The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) caused by a huge amount of carbon emissions also turned animals into “dwarves”. ).
This helps them adapt to scarce nutrients due to drought, heat, etc. Large animals may be at risk of disappearing because they cannot adapt to the environment in time.

Although small, ants appear almost everywhere on Earth and they are highly social creatures, sensitive to changes in environmental temperature.
Ants also play an important role in ecosystems, especially plants, because ants control other insects.
A study in the Harvard Forest in Massachusetts (USA), they may change their behavior when the environment changes and thereby affect the dispersal of tree seeds.
Nate Sanders, professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA, has been studying the effects of climate change and the behavior of ants.
Specifically, when the temperature increases, the ants will stay in the nest instead of going out, and this will greatly affect the forest ecosystem.
