4 . Speeding satellite . Satellites orbiting the earth experienced friction with the upper atmosphere . due to increasing amounts of carbon dioxide , atmosfor at the top to be colder and harder to move . This results in reduced friction and satellites into satellites accelerate the pace .
5 . Changing the genetic code of living organisms . due to climate change , seasons changed. This season changes disrupt the life cycle of living things , for example , animal breeding cycle . As a result, the internal clock living things must change . The genetic code will inevitably be passed on to succeeding generations .
