Furthermore, severe winters Cause frost Result damage even to dormant vegetation Patient , thus restricting the cultivation of over-wintering crops, such as winter wheat, on the Prairies and in other similarly affected areas. [ 5CANADAICC 0 TK MCLH 08/06/2012 ]

Increased Degree crop Patient damage from droughts, from floods, and from storms Cause could make famines not only more frequent but far more difficult to deal with. [ 2CANADACCD9801 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

Greater use of pesticides and herbicides in response to new pest species Cause may lead to damage to existing plant and animal communities, to water quality, and to human health Patient . [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 TK MCLH 08/06/2012 ]

According to the general principles of customary international law, States can exercise their sovereignty in their territories and could therefore engage in activities such as the storage of CO2 (both geological and ocean) in those areas under their jurisdiction. However, if storage has a transboundary impact, States have the responsibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control Cause do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas Patient beyond the limits of national jurisdiction.

water acidification caused by the dissolution of CO2 threatens the chemical balance of the ocean 's superficial layer. This phenomenon Cause could cause damage to marine ecosystems Patient . [ CHANG NEWCOURIER2005 0 TK MCLH 08/06/2012 ]

Losses of coastal land and biodiversity (including coral reefs, mangrove ecosystems, estuarine wetlands, and marine mammals and birds), damage to infrastructure Patient , and saltwater intrusion resulting from sea-level rise could occur in low-lying coasts and estuaries in countries such as those of the Central American isthmus, Venezuela, Argentina and Uruguay. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

Finally, damage to ecosystems and human health Patient is sometimes the results of several of these stresses acting together. [ 5CANADAICC 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

Reduced-impact harvesting minimizes disturbance to soil and damage to the remaining vegetation Patient and will, in most cases, have positive environmental benefits regarding biodiversity, recreation, and landscape management. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

In addition, long-term Time damage to agricultural land and groundwater supplies Patient , which provide about 30 % of the water supply in the UK, would occur in some areas due to salt water infiltration. [ ENCY 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

In the case of the greenhouse effect, the environmental Patient damage depends only on the overall amount of the emissions, the site of the emission being irrelevant, hence the logic of trading among countries, even if they are separated by long distances. [ JACLET 0 TK MCLH 08/06/2012 ]

Increases in the intensity of heavy precipitation events and region-specific changes in the frequency of tropical cyclones would affect ecosystems due to flooding, storm surges, and wind Cause damage . [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

Regardless of how global warming affects either the frequency or the intensity of hurricanes, the risk of accompanying flood Cause damage will almost certainly be accentuated by rising sea levels. [ 2CANADACCD9801 0 TK 09/06/2012 ]

Since these ecosystems protect coastlines from storm Cause damage , their collapse would further aggravate the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure and ecosystems to such damage. [ 5CANADAICC 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

Vulnerability is defined as the extent to which a natural or social system is susceptible to sustaining damage from climate change Cause . [ 7IPCCREGION 0 TK 08/06/2012 ]

Elevated seawater temperatures (above seasonal maxima) Cause can seriously Degree damage corals Patient by bleaching Method and also impair their reproductive functions, and lead to increased mortality. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 TK DMT MCLH 05/11/2012 ]

These are all signs of accelerating climate change - or global warming, as it is sometimes known. If we don't take action to stop it, it Cause is going to damage the world we live in Patient , and alter the ways of life we now take for granted. [ CLIMATECHANGEYOUTH 0 TK DMT 05/11/2012 ]

A shift in climatic zones not only affects the vegetation but also affects the incidence of tree pests such as insects and diseases. These pests Cause have less difficulty in migrating with their climatic zones than vegetation and may damage tree species with lower immunity Patient . [ ENCY 0 TK DMT 05/11/2012 ]

changes in frozen ground (in particular, ice-rich permafrost) Cause will damage some vulnerable Arctic infrastructure Patient (see WGII, Chapter 28), and could substantially alter the carbon budget through the release of methane (see Chapter 6). [ WG1AR5OW 0 MCLH 18/03/2014 ]

Exposure to such pollutants Cause exacerbates respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, harms plants and damages buildings Patient . [ WG1AR5HS 0 MCLH 18/03/2014 ]

Trees absorb carbon and so reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Cutting them down without replacing them Cause therefore not only damages our natural habitat Patient but also aggravates climate change. [ 1EUROPAENV 0 TK DMT 05/11/2012 ]
