<human>:  What are the effects of global warming?
<bot>: The most dominant effects of global warming are rising temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, and a rise in sea level. Other effects include more frequent and intense extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and hurricanes. Significant regional impacts include melting glaciers and Arctic sea ice, reduced snow cover, and longer growing seasons. These changes have the potential to affect human health, water availability and quality, agriculture, and many other aspects of society and the natural environment.
