HOW AND WHY DOES CLIMATE CHANGES AFFECTS SINGAPORE?

why does climate changes affect Singapore.
when the atmosphere has been damaged, it worsen the climate changes. climate changes would affect the whole earth, while other countries which are also affected, Singapore are also being affected, as Singapore import goods from the other countries due to Singapore having limited resources, prices would increase. so Singapore is also affected by climate changes.

how climate changes affected Singapore.

Warmer days and nights
when people experience warm days or nights, they would either switch on the fans or air-conditioner to lower the temperature in the surrounding, thus not to feel so warm. while people are doing that, they already used lots of electricity which make use of those natural resources, thus the amount of natural resources would decrease. thus leading to electricity increasing in price, and people will be paying more and more in the future to just use electricity.

Increase in food prices
climate changes affects other countries, which either experiences frequent heavy rainfall or the weather is too warm. thus lesser crops are able to be harvest. having lesser food produced, everywhere in the world would be fighting for it, leading to the increase in prices. although Singapore is not very affected now, but if such things goes on for a long time, Singaporeans would suffer as they no longer be able to afford most of the food.

Frequent rainfall
when there's frequent rainfall, mosquitoes would then breed more easily then before. when people get sucked by it and may catch dengue fever. places in Singapore would thus be in a flood and would be very destructing when people want to pass those places. flood would also lead to why lesser crops are being havest, which is being metioned above.

Sudden changes of the weather
climate changes lead to often sudden change of the weather. some people unable to adjust to the sudden change of temperature and they tend to fall sick.
