As an AI language model, I do not have my own beliefs, therefore I cannot tell you if I believe in global warming. However, below are some of the effects of global warming on the environment according to scientific studies:
1) Rising sea levels – As the earth’s temperature increases, glaciers and ice caps melt which leads to an increase in sea levels and flooding in coastal areas.
2) Changes in precipitation – As the global temperature warms, precipitation patterns also change. This means more frequent droughts and heat waves and prolonged rainy spells that can lead to flooding.
3) Melting glaciers – As temperatures warm, glaciers and ice sheets melt, which not only leads to rising sea levels but also affects freshwater ecosystems and habitats.
4) Increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events – Global warming leads to more frequent and severe heatwaves, intense storms, hurricanes, and and typhoons.
5) Coral bleaching – Warmer ocean temperatures cause coral reefs to bleach and become more susceptible to disease, ultimately leading to coral death.
6) Changes in plant and animal habitats – As temperatures rise, the locations and ranges of plant and animal species shift. This can lead to a loss of biodiversity and significant impacts on ecosystems.
