  2. Effects of climate change on livestock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    Proposed adaptations to climate change in livestock production include improved cooling at animal shelters and changes to animal feed, though they are often costly or have only limited effects. [8] At the same time, livestock produces the majority of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and demands around 30% of agricultural fresh water ...

  3. Effects of climate change on agriculture - Wikipedia

    Climate change effects on rainfed wheat will vary depending on the region and local climatic conditions. Studies in Iran surrounding changes in temperature and rainfall are representative for several different parts of the world since there exists a wide range of climatic conditions. They range from temperate to hot-arid to cold semi-arid.

    Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impacts_of...

    Animal agriculture worldwide encompasses 83% of farmland (but only accounts for 18% of the global calorie intake), and the direct consumption of animals as well as over-harvesting them is causing environmental degradation through habitat alteration, biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, and trophic interactions. [176]

  7. Extinction risk from climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_risk_from...

    The effects that climate change has on both plant and animal species within certain ecosystems has the ability to directly affect the human inhabitants who rely on natural resources. Frequently, the extinction of plant and animal species create a cyclic relationship of species endangerment in ecosystems which are directly affected by climate ...

    Climate change can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history. [32] Global warming—used as early as 1975 [33] —became the more popular term after NASA climate scientist James Hansen used it in his 1988 testimony in the U.S. Senate. [34] Since the 2000s, climate change has ...

  9. Biodiversity loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity_loss

    Climate change is likely to favour some invasive species and harm others, [161] but few authors have identified specific consequences of climate change for invasive species. [162] Invasive species and other disturbances have become more common in forests in the last several decades. These tend to be directly or indirectly connected to climate ...
