Climate crisis is the term used to describe the supposed harm resulting from anthropogenic global warming. Proponents purport to be worried that changing global temperature could cause droughts, floods, and an increase of hurricanes, tornados and other severe weather conditions. They also claim that changing climate could cause mass extinction of plants and animals.
