This is the way it works, mosquito born diseases will be found at higher altitudes and higher latitudes as will many other diseases due to habitat modification Glaciers and ice caps are already melting adding to sea volume, but the oceans will heat and expand causing higher water levels and flooding, this is the major threat as large populations will be displaced Agriculture is will be severely affected in marginal areas, this is already apparent in the failure of the Australian wheat crop and will happen to many other crops as conditions become unfavourable Rain fall will increase in some areas and decrease in others, deserts will spread many scientists agree but argue on the timing and specifics particularly severity
