What are some potential negative effects that climate change could have on your country or the world as a whole?

In the past 20 years, the climate has changed so much mostly caused by serious pollution. It is an indispensable effect as there are large increases in the industrial zones as well as means of transport and unpredictable decrease in the area of forests. As a result, a lot of potential negative effects, mostly due to climate change, appear. First of all, the effects on weather are actually dangerous which effect s directly to the lives of people. The most serious consequence effecting on the weather is the increasing in temperature, which tends to rise rapidly in the near future. According to Wikipedia, over the last 50 years, the temperature in the southern part of the Arctic region (home to 4,000,000 people) has increased 1 °C to 3 °C (1.8 °F to 5.4 °F). Moreover, the climate change will lead to an under-estimated development in economics of some countries. Mr Stephen Mwakifwamba, national co-ordinator of the Centre for Energy, Environment, Science and Technology argued that the climate is far less predictable and we might have floods in May or droughts every three years. In addition, the rains come at the wrong time for farmers and it is leading to many problems. As a result, there will be more unsuccessful harvest in the near future.

You have lots of good info here, but the organization of ideas is not cohesive enough.
