The colder the ocean, the more rainfall occurs

Hurricane strength and rainfall is highly correlated with ocean temperature

The colder the ocean, the stronger the hurricane

Decreases in temperature are expected to cause a lower frequency of the most severe storms.

Severe weather and moderate rainfall are decreasing. Decreases in temperature are expected to cause a higher frequency of the most severe storms.

Severe weather and moderate rainfall are increasing. Increases in temperature are expected to cause a higher frequency of the most severe storms.

Less water in aquifers and therefore less water for agriculture

Landslides, flash floods and glacial lake overflow, but also increases annual variation in water flows in rivers.

Droughts from lack of evaporation and lack of rainfall

The Hindu-Kush and glaciers in that area are melting

There are no glaciers in the Hindu-Kush area

All of the glaciers in the Hindu-Kush area are growing in size

With increasing average global temperature, the water in the oceans expands in volume, and additional water enters them which had previously been locked up on land in glaciers and ice sheets.

With decreasing average global temperature, the water in the oceans decreases in volume, and more water is frozen in glaciers

With increasing average global temperature, the water in the oceans decreases in volume, and more water is frozen in glaciers

The ice sheets can suddenly destabilize when a certain threshold is exceeded

The ice sheets can rapidly freeze because of increasing temperatures

The ice sheets will always melt evenly due to high temperatures

Seal level rise will make it easier to catch fish in big cities

Sea level rise will make ocean travel easier and shipping easier

Sea level rise will cause inland flooding and destroy ecosystems

The oceans soak up much of the CO₂ because the increased amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere is at equilibrium with the ocean

The oceans soak up much of the O₂ because the increased amount of O₂ in the atmosphere is at equilibrium with the ocean

The oceans absorb the CO₂ released by marine organisms as they breathe out during respiration

Bleaches the coral and kills it

Keeps the pH of the surrounding water at a level ideal for coral to survive

Helps it grow a stronger skeleton

cold water absorbs the same amount of CO₂ as warmer water

cold water absorbs less CO₂ than warmer water

cold water absorbs CO₂ more readily than warmer water

The melting of peat bogs permafrost is likely to lead to the release, over decades, of large quantities of methane

The creation of peat bogs sequesters large quantities of methane

The melting of peat bogs permafrost is likely to absorb large quantities of methane

a form of water ice that contains a large amount of methane within its crystal structure

a form of liquid that contains a large amount of methane within its solution

a form of gas that contains a large amount of methane within its compound

The gradual release of large amounts of methane hydrates has caused stable temperatures for thousands of years

The sudden release of large amounts of natural gas from methane hydrates, in a runaway global warming event, has been hypothesized as a cause of past and possibly future climate changes.

The sudden creation of methane hydrates due to an ice age has caused climate change in the past

Methane is a less potent greenhouse gas than CO₂

Methane has the same potency as a greenhouse gas compared to CO₂

Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO₂

People with heart problems are vulnerable because one's cardiovascular system must work harder to keep the body cool during hot weather, people will have issues with heat exhaustion, and some respiratory problems increase.

People have lived in hot places for thousands of years and will adapt to warmer temperatures

People evolved to live in very cold places and will instantly die when the temperature increases above a certain temperature

Colder temperatures kill organisms that spread diseases

Vectors of diseases will spread into new ares with higher temperatures

Higher temperatures kill organisms that spread diseases

Insect-borne diseases from things like ticks and sandflies

Reptile-borne diseases from things like snakes and alligators

People-borne diseases from things like humans

They prefer to hunt on land, which is no longer covered by snow

They prefer to hunt in the ocean, which is no longer covered by ice

They prefer to hunt on sea ice, which is ice-free now three weeks longer than it has been previously

Marine invertebrates can quickly adapt to any change and will be uneffected

The change in temperature will not affect marine organisms because they've adapted to live in the ocean

Marine invertebrates enjoy peak growth at the temperatures they have adapted to, regardless of how cold these may be

Coral bleaching which leads to coral death

Coral intensification which leads to increases in coral

Coral decrease which leads to coral decreasing in size

Coral bleaching occurs when parrotfish eat the skeletons of coral and become white

Coral bleaching occurs when zooxanthellae abandon corals in response to high temperatures.

Coral bleaching occurs when coral spend too much time in the sun and get burned

There will be shorter heat waves

There will be no droughts

There will be less droughts and heat waves

There will be more droughts and more heat waves

The temperature of hurricanes will decrease

The intensity/strength of hurricanes will increase

The amount of hurricanes will increase

Because temperatures are increasing, less glaciers will melt

Because temperatures are decreasing more glaciers will be created

Because the temperature is increasing, more glaciers will disappear

The sea level will stay the same because no ice is melting

The sea level will drop because ice is melting

The sea level will rise because ice is melting

Ocean acidification kills plants and animals

The ocean has nothing to do with the carbon cycle or carbon dioxide

As the amount of carbon dioxide in the ocean increases, the ocean becomes more acidic

The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the more carbon in the ocean

The oceans remove carbon from the atmosphere
