RISE IN SEA LEVEL- melting ice and
thermal expansion increase the volume of
water

CO2 can cause buildings to collapse but easier
to extract raw materials
- Global warming is also causing other
changes in the climate- increase in
extreme weather this then causes the
ecology, agriculture and tourism
- Emissions scenarios are used to predict
impacts of global warming- they can see what
would happen if the temperature rose and the
different impacts caused
- Could lead to tipping
