According to Time magazine.

10. Aggravated allergies. Higher carbon dioxide levels and warmer temperatures associated with global warming are also playing a role by prodding plants to bloom earlier and produce more pollen.

9. Animals are moving up to higher land. This is mostly due to changes in their habitats caused by global warming.

8. Arctic natural life is blooming sooner. The ice melts earlier in spring, and higher levels of the form of the photosynthesis product chlorophyll in modern soils than in ancient soils shows a biological bloom in the Arctic in the recent decades.

7. Lakes are disappearing. The permafrost underneath the lakes probably thawed out so the water in the lakes can seep through the soil, draining the lake, and the ecosystems they support also lose their homes.

6. Layer of permanently frozen soil is thawing under the ground’s surface. This causes holes and occurs unevenly, so damage is done to structures such as railroad tracks, highways and houses.

5. Animals playing “survival of the fittest.” The plants are blooming earlier each year, meaning unless animals can reset their internal clocks and get into the open earlier each year, most of their food will be gone and they may not have sufficient time to produce offspring.

4. Less dense atmosphere and less drag. More carbon dioxide emissions causes more of its kind in the air, which, in turn, causes more cooling and again, in turn, causes the air to settle, leaving the atmosphere less dense with less drag.

3. Mountains are growing taller. As glaciers melt, weight that normally pushed against the Earth’s surface is now lifted and the surface slowly springs back up.

2. Ruins are being destroyed. Rising seas and extreme weather can completely destroy temples, ancient grounds and other artifacts, such as Sukothai, which was once the capital of a Thai Kingdom.

1. Forest fires. Canada and the United States are suffering from an extreme number of forest fires, which are due to warmer temperatures and snow that melts earlier, the latter which causes the grounds to stay drier for longer, giving flames more opportunities to develop.
