== Card #32 : Decline in Agricultural Yields == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult32Desc /> | |||
Food production can be affected by temperature, droughts, extreme weather events, floods and marine submersion (e.g. the Nile Delta). | |||

== Card #33 : Marine Submersion == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult33Desc /> | |||
Cyclones and weather disturbances bring wind (therefore waves) and low pressure conditions.<br> | |||
1 hectopascal less means a 1 cm sea level rise.<br> | |||
Therefore cyclones can cause marine submersions (or coastal flooding), amplified by the sea level rise already caused by global warming. | |||

== Card #34 : Cyclones == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult34Desc /> | |||
Cyclones use energy from warm waters at the ocean surface. Because of global warming, they are becoming stronger. | |||

=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult37Desc /> | |||
Starvation can be caused by lower agricultural yields and by the reduction of marine biodiversity. | |||

== Card #39 : Climate Refugees == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult39Desc /> | |||
Imagine that you live in a place that has been miraculously spared by climate change. Several billions of human beings might want to share this space with you. | |||

== Card #41 : Permafrost == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult41Desc /> | |||
Permafrost is permanently frozen ground. <br> | |||
Permafrost thawing leads to the decomposition of organic matter previously frozen underground, a phenomenon that releases methane and {{CO2}} into the atmosphere.<br> | |||
Beyond +2°C, it is almost certain this phenomenon will accelerate and make the climate spiral out of control. | |||

== Card #42 : Weakening Gulf Stream == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult42Desc /> | |||
The Gulf Stream is part of the ocean's thermohaline circulation. It could weaken in response to freshwater input from Greenland's melting ice sheet.<br> | |||
This could disrupt the water cycle even more and reduce the ocean's capacity to absorb more carbon and heat. | |||
