24. Problems caused by global warming • An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, and a probable expansion of subtropical deserts. • Other likely effects of the warming include more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall events, species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes, and changes in crop yields.

25. Prevention of Global Warming • Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),whose ultimate objective is to prevent "dangerous" anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced) climate change. • Parties to the UNFCCC have adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissionsand to assist in adaptation to global warming.
