increase yields of some crops, though those benefits will be progressively offset by extreme
weather events.
Scientists agree that even a small
increases in the global temperature lead to significant climate and
weather changes, affecting cloud cover, precipitation, wind patterns, the frequency and severity of storms, and the timing of
seasons.

increase in extreme
weather events, meaning systems like this hurricane
