Sea rise as a consequence of global warming would immediately threaten that large fraction of the globe living at sea level. Nearly one-third of all human beings live within 36 miles of a coastline. 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.
Food supplies and forests would be【9】affected. Changes in rainfall patterns would disrupt agriculture. Warmer temperatures would【10】grain-growing regions polewards. The warming would also increase and change the pest plants, such as weeds and the insects【11】the crops.
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.

Any change of temperature, rainfall, and sea level of the magnitude now【19】will be destructive to natural systems and living things and hence to man as well.
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.
