Of course past climate impacted and still impact what happens to the weather and tempreratures in the atmosphere. Scientists use past climate changes and temperatures to know what will happen in the future and why something happens in the present too.

Climate change and its impact on India Climate change will make monsoons unpredictable; as a result‚ rain-fed wheat cultivation in South Asia will suffer in a big way and the total cereal production will go down.

animals can be seen playing on melting ice‚ and are warned that the earth will soon flood. Fourth‚ climate change has contributed to the reduced number of glaciers worldwide. Most of the glaciers are shrinking as a result of global warming. These glaciers are a natural habitat for certain animals. For example‚ in Ice Age 2‚ it shown that a glacier that contains two reptiles‚ Cretaceous and Maelstrom‚ breaks off. Fifth‚ climate change has contributed to biodiversity loss.

Ecosystems are environments where biotic (living) organisms and abiotic (non-living) components interact together to create a functional‚ complex network of nutrient and energy cycling. These balanced environments take time‚ sometimes many years‚ to develop. During the course of development‚ species are replaced by other species within the ecosystem‚ a process known as succession. Primary succession happens when species grow in locations where organisms have never previously existed. Secondary succession
