Global Change

Increased photosynthetic rates in all crops leading to unprecedented growth rates and surpluses worldwide.

Unchanged agricultural patterns due to predictable adaptation measures implemented by farmers worldwide efficiently enough.

Diminished crop yields due to heat stress and pest proliferation impacting food distribution networks equity.

Improved soil fertility from heightened CO2 concentrations enhancing crop production efficiencies globally.

United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP).

World Health Organization (WHO).

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Implement agroforestry systems combining tree planting with crop cultivation, enhancing biodiversity and soil carbon storage.

Using no-till farming exclusively, which may reduce erosion but does not necessarily address fertilizer runoff or CO2 sequestration adequately.

Applying more efficient irrigation techniques alone, which saves water but doesn't directly impact greenhouse gas emissions or fertilizer runoff.

Expanding monoculture practices with genetically modified crops designed for higher yield without considering soil health.

Altered distribution patterns owing to shifting climate zones.

Increased soil fertility resulting from higher concentrations of compostable carbons.

Direct reduction in species diversity due to chemical toxicity from elevated gases.

Uniform spreading of habitats due to leveling out climates across regions.

Rising sea levels.

Reduced rainfall.

Increased water availability.

Decreased evaporation rates.

Solar panels

Nuclear power plants

Volcanic eruptions

Livestock digestion

By implementing uniform emission standards across borders without regard for individual country circumstances.

By charging a global fee for each tonne of emissions produced, which is then distributed among developing nations.

By setting limits on emissions and allowing trading of emission permits, it incentivizes countries to reduce output below set caps.

By providing subsidies for companies that stay well below internationally agreed-upon emission levels.

Enhanced rates of photosynthesis globally because of warmer temperatures.

Decreased volcanic activity attributable to less temperature gradients in Earth's crust.

Increased tectonic activity due to mantle temperature fluctuations.

Intensified evaporation rates impacting hydrological cycles.

Cement production which releases stored CO2 but not significant amounts of methane

Enteric fermentation from livestock digestion processes

The combustion of fossil fuels used mainly for heating and electricity

Deforestation which primarily impacts oxygen and carbon dioxide balances

Increase in greenhouse gases.

Decrease in greenhouse gases.

Volcanic eruptions.
