Global Warming Impact
Extreme weather events are projected to occur in various regions worldwide.
-
Melting of glacier and ice sheet by temperature rise, sea level rise by thermal expansion of sea water
-
Increase of damage in coastal area brought by high tide and tsunami due to sea level rise
-
More frequent drought and water shortage due to polarized precipitation
-
Frequent occurrence of localized torrential downpour and flood, or strengthening of tropical storm
-
Impacts on ecosystems from the instability of the habitat environment caused by changes in the climate system
-
Impacts on marine ecosystems from changes in sea water temperature and ocean circulation
