A Correct answer
Explanation

Rise in the sea level and regional climatic changes are the two major impacts expected, as a result of rising global temperatures. An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, as well as cause a probable expansion of subtropical deserts.
