In the second lecture, we move onto the impact of climate change on various aspects of human life, ranging from the effect of increased greenhouse gases to industrial activities and land use changes such as deforestation. We learn other impacts of it that affect the Earth itself, such as record-low sea ice extent at the Poles, significant warming of the ocean, and the proliferation of extreme weather events worldwide.
