To many feedback loops have been activated.

Everything on this planet has been affected:

Insects (bees for pollination)

Soil (lack nutrients, worms, water erosion, wind erosion)

Water (drinking water shortages, water pollution, oceans adding salt to rivers, sink holes from draining aquifers)

Plants (growing zones are changing at a rapid pace and plants cannot adapt quick enough & there is a decline in rice and wheat)

Ocean (acidification, dead zones, coral bleaching, fish population decline, pollution)

Mammals (monkeys in Mexico and India dying from extreme heat, people dying because of high wet bulb temperatures)

Icebergs (sea level rise, the Albedo Effect)

National Disasters ( tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, blizzards, fires)
