The global warming that naturally occurred during the Eocene resulted in the rise of the primate order; the global warming that is taking place today will likely have negative impacts for humans, such as:
A) changes in crop production as a result of decreased precipitation.
B) extinction of certain species unrelated to habitat loss.
C) lower sea levels, resulting in the addition of coastal lands on multiple continents.
D) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The decreased precipitation caused by global warming could result in changes in crop production, which could have negative impacts on human populations. Option B is partially correct as species extinction is a likely consequence of climate change, but not all of them will be unrelated to habitat loss. Option C is incorrect as global warming is causing higher sea levels, not lower ones. Option D is incorrect as there are negative impacts of global warming on humans.
