As the climate changes, what will happen to various crops around the world?

• Crops will be harvested at the same levels as they are right now, regardless of climate change.

• Warming temperatures will lead to longer growing seasons for most crops.

• The sea level will be so high that flooding will wash away most crops.

• Supplies of crops will diminish as the climates in which they are grown become too harsh.

What is the greenhouse effect?

• Gases in the Earth's atmosphere allow sunlight to enter but prevent some of the heat energy from leaving the Earth.

• Gases prevent any energy from entering or leaving the Earth.

• The force of gravity keeps the heat energy close to the Earth's surface.

• The ozone hole in the atmosphere becomes so large, more heat energy enters the Earth
