animal extinction
further deforestation
air quality decreases
natural balance of the planet affected
global warming gets worse - floods, drought - happening right now.
decreased plant pollination leads to:
famine, civil unrest, crime increases, people fight for remaining resources
decline in insect numbers, decline in insect eating animals, decline in animals eating insect eating animals (anteaters for example being eaten by leopards)
less food available for humans and animals due to:
poor soil quality leads to further deforestation
unfavourable weather conditions cause crop failure and famine and poverty
eg cotton crop fails, cotton costs increase, retail price increases,
soil erosion
agricultural run off polluting water systems
changing pH of the oceans leads to:
coral reefs dying (bleaching)
less fish for every animal to eat means further famine
further decline in biodiversity
