Most of the world’s great seaport cities would be【1】: New Orleans, Amsterdam, Shanghai, and Cairo. Some countries — Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, islands in the Pacific — would be inundated. Heavily populated coastal areas such as in Bangladesh and Egypt,【2】large populations occupy low-lying areas, would suffer extreme【3】.
Warmer oceans would spawn stronger hurricanes and typhoons,【4】in coastal flooding, possibly swamping valuable agricultural ands around the world.【5】water quality may result in【6】flooding which forces salt water into coastal irrigation and drinking water supplies, and irreplaceable, natural【7】could be flooded with ocean water, destroying forever many of the【8】plant and animal species living there.

Human health would also be affected. Warming could【12】tropical climate bringing with it yellow fever, malaria, and other diseases. Heat stress and heat mortality could rise. The harmful【13】of localized urban air pollution would very likely be more serious in warmer【14】There will be some【15】from warming.

The list of possible consequences of global warming suggests very clearly that we must do everything we can now to understand its causes and effects and to take all measures possible to prevent and adapt to potential and inevitable disruptions【20】by global warming.
