Climate Change Impacts on Oceans and Global Ecosystems

The video discusses the impact of climate change on global ecosystems, based on a UN report. It highlights the warming of oceans, affecting marine life and fisheries, and the movement of terrestrial species. Coral reefs are dying, impacting biodiversity and human economies. The Arctic is undergoing significant changes, threatening indigenous food security. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to reflect on climate change's impact on their lives.

What is the main focus of the UN report on climate change?

• Economic impacts of climate change

• Definitive study on climate change impacts

• Technological advancements to combat climate change

• Political agreements on climate change

What is a significant consequence of ocean warming?

• Increased rainfall in coastal areas

• Expansion of coral reefs

• Fish and other species moving towards the poles

• Decrease in ocean salinity

How does ocean warming affect people in poorer countries?

• It improves agricultural productivity

• It increases tourism opportunities

• It reduces the cost of seafood

• It leads to job losses in fisheries

What adaptation have animals and plants made in response to climate change?

• Moving towards the equator

• Moving towards the poles and higher altitudes

• Increasing their population size

• Changing their diet

Why are coral reefs particularly vulnerable to climate change?

• They can easily move to cooler areas

• They are bleaching and dying in increasing numbers

• They are resistant to temperature changes

• They thrive in warmer waters

What is happening to the Arctic's permafrost due to climate change?

• It is expanding

• It is thawing

• It is unaffected

• It is becoming more stable

How are polar bears and seals affected by climate change?

• They are unaffected by ice loss

• They are thriving in warmer temperatures

• They are severely affected, especially in warming summers

• They are migrating to tropical regions

What is a 'regime shift' in the context of the Arctic?

• A change in political leadership

• A significant change in the ecosystem

• A shift in global trade routes

• A new climate policy

What is the impact of glacier melting worldwide?

• No impact on sea levels

• Stable sea levels

• Increased sea levels

• Decreased sea levels

What action does the video encourage viewers to take?

• Invest in fossil fuels

• Move to the Arctic
