Describe at least three effects of global warming, including one local to Nigeria.
Worldwide: rising temperatures (2025 was the third-warmest year on record), melting ice, rising seas, and fiercer storms.
In Nigeria, 2025 brought both extremes: devastating floods (Mokwa, Niger State, among the worst in decades) affecting roughly 15 million people at risk across 30 of 36 states — and, at the same time, severe heat past 40°C in the north that disrupted planting season.
