HOW WILL CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECT ME?
Climate change is the change in weather over a longer period of time. Climate change could be for example global warming, which effects global climates.

IF ALL THE ICE MELTED [2]
If all the ice melted.[3]
If we burn all the fossil fuels in the world, it's probable that all ice in the world could melt, which would result in mass deaths, islands and countries would be gone. The floods would engulf many coastal city's and farmland, ensuring that a less food would be grown and manufactured. Since many large coastal city's with many hospitals would be flooded, healthcare would have to be moved elsewhere, and that could be a problem, like the ordeals with the VA(waiting in the waiting room long enough to perish), only worse. Transportation could be a bit easier, given the fact that sailing is very efficient, but land movement would have to detour inland. Location would definitely change, because if the coast moves, the geography changes tremendoulsy, and that could effect many things.
I think that global warming is mostly a natural occurrence, but it is helped on by humans. If the world had flooded, it would take almost 5000 years to melt [3], which humans could adapt to the rising seas and temperature. I think that nature will work itself out of it. Think about it, carbon is what makes up most of all living things, carbon is also heavier than air, thus either going through animals, or going back into the ground eventually.
