Change Change Of climate.Of weather • Advantages Advantage~ • Warmer temperatures in cold regions may allow longer growing seasons. • New areas may become suitable for agriculture. • Increased CO₂ can sometimes help some plants grow faster. • Disadvantages • Extreme weather events: floods, hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves. • Rising sea levels → loss of land and homes. • Melting glaciers → freshwater loss in some areas. • Loss of biodiversity: animals and plants lose habitats. • Health risks: heat strokes, malaria, waterborne diseases. • Agricultural damage: crops may fail due to unpredictable weather. • Advantage ~ • Mild changes in weather can help farmers grow different crops. • More rainfall in dry periods can improve water supply. • Warm days in cold seasons can be comfortable for humans and animals. • Disadvantage~ • Extreme weather events: storms, heatwaves, heavy rains. • Sudden changes can harm crops and livestock. • Can cause floods, droughts, or cold waves. • Health risks: heatstroke, cold-related illness, seasonal flu.
