    Climate change destabilises the Earth's temperature equilibrium and has far-reaching effects on human beings and the environment. During the course of global warming, the energy balance and thus the temperature of the earth change, due to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases, which has a significant impact on humans and the environment.

    The direct consequences of man-made climate change include:

    -rising maximum temperatures.

    -rising minimum temperatures.

    -rising sea levels.

    -higher ocean temperatures.

    -an increase in heavy precipitation (heavy rain and hail).

    -shrinking glaciers.

    -thawing permafrost.

    The indirect consequences of climate change, which directly affect us humans and our environment, include:

    -an increase in hunger and water crises, especially in developing countries.

    -health risks through rising air temperatures and heatwaves.

    -economic implications of dealing with secondary damage related to climate change.

    -increasing spread of pests and pathogens.

    -loss of biodiversity due to limited adaptability and adaptability speed of flora and fauna.

    -ocean acidification due to increased HCO3 concentrations in the water as a consequence of increased CO₂ concentrations.

    -the need for adaptation in all areas (e. g. agriculture, forestry, energy, infrastructure, tourism, etc.).
