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.
