Climate change also affects mountains and therefore us

The consequences of anthropogenic climate change and global warming are becoming obvious in many areas of our lives. Anthropogenic means caused by humans. For example, one of the ecosystems that is getting out of balance are mountains. Mountain ecosystems are currently getting out of balance due to melting snow and ice, which keep the regional heat balance. Other aspects of mountain ecosystems are also changing, such as wind direction, humidity, and soil erosion, which have far-reaching consequences. These consequences affect nature but us as well.
