Changes in Earth's climate have different effects in different areas of the world. Some places are warming up more than others. Some places have more rainfall, while others experience more droughts.

The sea level is rising due to melting ice and thermal expansion of seawater. As global temperatures continue to go up, how much will sea levels rise?

Melting sea ice has only a minor impact on sea level rise because the ice is already in the ocean, but it does cause major changes to the planet. When sea ice melts, more sunlight is absorbed by the Earth, which causes more warming. It’s a vicious cycle. And here’s how it works.
The American Southwest is becoming more prone to drought as Earth warms. How will the drier conditions affect North America's largest cat, the mountain lion?

Vector-borne diseases are transmitted typically by the bite of an infected arthropod. Climate plays an important role in the seasonal pattern or temporal distribution of diseases that are carried and transmitted through vectors because the vector animals often thrive in particular climate conditions.
