Consequences

1. Biodiversity

1lead to decrease in population of cunda fauna

2Polar bear population has decreased by 50%

2Changes in breeding season due to early onset of spring and warmer winters

3increase in human-animal conflicts as animals are forced to have their additional habitat in search of food.

1.6 Ecosystem

1. lead to some thawing of permafrost which can lead to CH4 emissions and severe health risks to humans as latent pathogens might re-emerge

2land desalinization and soil liquification are also possible

3increased instances of avalanches

4ice in sea levels, threatening human clauses habitation

Global Ecological Balance

(A) disuare libedo, increasing global temperatures thus increasing global warming

2It may weaken the polar vortex, leading to extremely cold winters in higher latitudes

3may increase unpredictability of phenomenon like monsoon, el nino larina et

4it will weaken Atlantic meridional oceanic circulation leading to negative impacts on global climate.
