Question 12 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC
Global warming raises temperatures, which melts land ice and contributes to rising sea levels; warmer conditions also increase the risk of heat-related deaths. Increased melting ice adds freshwater to the ocean, so it does not generally cause seawater salinity to increase. Warming also does not mean fewer species or a shorter growing season overall, though some species and regions may be harmed.
