Climate change is bringing many dangers. 

The most significant risk of the current global warming is that it is causing more warming, which causes more warming, and so on.  

See: Warming causing more warming: Amplifying feedbacks.

There are also dangers associated with:

• Air temperatures increasing

• Arctic ice decreasing
• Antarctic ice decreasing
• Greenland ice decreasing
• Sea levels increasing

• The ocean surface warming
• Coral reef bleaching is increasing

• Ocean acidity increasing

• Extreme weather
• Warfare emerging from climate change

So much change threatens the stability that maintains the web of life and supports life as we know it. It threatens to exacerbate human difficulties and create chaos for the 7.6 billion people on the planet.
