1. Sea level rise: densely settled coastal plains would become uninhabitable with a small rise in sea levels. This is due to the melting of the ice caps. 2.Reduction of the ozone layer: warming would result in increased cloud cover, this would result in the depletion of the ozone layer. 3. Spread of diseases: diseases would be able to spread easier in areas which were previously too cold to survive in. 4. Ecosystem change: the range of plants and animals would change, the bulk of organisms would begin to head toward the North and South poles.
