Climate change is already beginning to transform life on Earth. Around the globe, seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live. If we don't act now, climate change will rapidly alter the lands and waters we all depend upon for survival, leaving our children and grandchildren with a very different world.
Some of the most dangerous consequences of climate change are listed here. Which one will have the most impact on your life, or on the places you care about?
Oak trees scattered on hillside with the fog rolling in during sunset. San Felipe (an active cattle ranch owned by the HP families) is located within Mount Hamilton, between two county parks and one state park. The ranch is the missing link in a corridor of protected lands that stretches 70 miles from Pacheco Pass to Livermore Valley.TNC now protects San Felipe through a permanent conservation easement which protects the ranch and surrounding areas from urban development. © Ian Shive
Waterfront view in the fishing village of Sanchez, Dominican Republic. Deforestation has washed sediments down rivers and choked parts of the bay. The shoreline has become an expanse of mud that local fishermen shove their boats through to reach fishable waters. Sewage from their outhouses runs straight into the mud here, where their livestock feed and where their children play barefoot. © Carolyn Drake
