Answer:

The answer is: The various difficulties that could arise to continue living on earth due to rising temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Earth warms up, any of these important changes will occur:

1.- The water expands when it is heated and the oceans absorb more heat than the earth, the sea level will rise.

2.- The sea level will also increase due to the melting of glaciers and sea ice.

3.- The cities of the coast would suffer floods.

4.- Places where it normally rains or snows a lot could get hot and dry.

5.- Lakes and rivers could dry up.

6.- There would be more droughts so it would be harder to grow corn.

7.- There would be less water available for agriculture, food production, drinking or showering.

8.- Many plants and animals would become extinct.

9.- Hurricanes, tornadoes and storms produced by changes in temperature and evaporation of water would occur more regularly.

The answer is: The various difficulties that could arise to continue living on earth due to rising temperatures.
