      Hi Tourtise123

      This will depend on where in the world we live, but on average our global temperatures could rise by 4 degrees before the year 2100. This may not seem high, but it will cause lots of changes to our ecosystems, both in the land and sea. Have a look at the link below and this will tell you how hot the climate will get in your life time, all you have to do is enter your date of birth and then press the > button. It will show you how much our temperatures have risen over the last 100 years, how hot it is now and how hot it will get in your life time 🙂
