Impact of changing climate
The change of climate is now a major global concern. The worst of all the problems that affect all the flora and fauna of our environment is the climate change. There are many plants and animals that are vulnerable to climate change. As a result of increasing temperature, they are likely to be extinct. About 18,000 years ago, the sea level was more than 100 meters lower than today. Over the past century, the level has risen by 10-20cm, probably in response to global warming. The mangrove forests will be affected because of increasing salinity during the winter season and high tides during the monsoon.
Moreover, coastal surges will also raise water level in the area. Therefore all the plants and animals vulnerable to climate change will be affected severely. Due to high salinity, many trees will be eliminated. All the flora and fauna will be affected by salinity of water. We must act to check the rot!
