With basically every aspect of the world being affected by global warming, humans are no different... If anything, we are going to be affected by global warming the most out of anything! WHY?! Simply because we are directly or indirectly linked to EVERYTHING mentioned in my earlier articles... So if they're affected, so are we!
Some Examples:
1. Plants and Animals: With the extinction of even SOME plants and animals, the other will be affected. For example, if some plants become extinct, this will affect the animal population in one way or another, and vise versa. These populations are linked so when one if affected so is the other. As a result, this will affect humans as well, because we are ALSO dependent on plants and animals for a number of thing. So this is the first thing that will affect us.
2. Weather: With irregular weather patterns the main result will longer, and WARMER seasons.. but WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Well, it just means that people who have really bad allergies, LOOK OUT! With longer and warmer seasons, allergies will be at an all time high, even worse than they are now.
3. Ocean: With the destruction of coral reefs will result in the eventual loss of marine life, including many types of fish which are very important to the human diet. Not only that, but with the rise of sea levels, people residing in coastal areas may even lose there homes! Additionally, with the rise of sea water, there is a great chance that the water will overflow into river banks, making the water unusable and reducing the water supply for MILLIONS!!
So you see... YES, global warming will affect all aspects of our environment. But because the environment satisfies so many of our human needs, it seems we will be hurt the worst after all!
