Animals & Plants-
     Prarie wetlands, alpine tundra and cold water
     ecosystems will be at risk, and adaptation is
     unlikely to be possible.

Health-
    Increased exposure to vector borne diseases
    (malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and
    encephalitis) will cause increased illness/death.
    The number of annual heat-related deaths will
    increase.

Human Settlements-
    Sea level rise will enhance costal erosion, flooding
    and storm surge risk, adversely affecting costal
    settlements, epsecially those on the Atlantic Coast.
    Insurance will change (most likely higher rates and
    reduced coverage) due to climate changes.

Water Resources-
     Earlier spring peak flows will occur, leaving less
     water in the summer.
