According to the video, what is the primary cause of the climate changes described?

Human activities that release emissions into the atmosphere

Name three specific environmental consequences described in the video that are predicted to occur by 2050 if current trends continue.

Increased frequency of extreme heat waves, longer and more severe droughts, and more frequent heavy rainfall.

Higher rates of premature and underweight births.

They will become uninhabitable as large swaths of their islands are submerged.

Elevating buildings and roadways and building seawalls.

I can analyze how human activities have both helped and harmed the environment in my community.

1
If we continue on our current path, scientists project that the Earth will warm 2 degrees since the 1800s by 2050, leading to more frequent extreme weather events.
2
By 2050, extreme heat waves could cause widespread blackouts and increased cases of heatstroke, dehydration, and exhaustion.
3
By 2100, rising sea levels could displace 250 million people, and some cities may attempt to adapt by building seawalls and elevating buildings.
