16. EFFECTS OF WASTE…
16
According to NAS:
Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea levels and change
precipitation and other local climate conditions.
Changing regional climates could alter forests, crop yields, and water
supplies.
This could also affect human health, animals, and many types of
ecosystems.
Deserts might expand into existing rangelands, and features of some of
our national parks might be permanently altered.
17. EFFECTS OF WASTE…
17
- Some countries are expected to become warmer,
although sulfates might limit warming in some areas.
- Scientists are unable to determine which parts of
those countries will become wetter or drier, but there
is likely to be an overall trend toward increased
precipitation and evaporation, more intense
rainstorms, and drier soils.
- Whether rainfall increases or decreases cannot be
reliably projected for specific areas.
