The global warming that naturally occurred during the Eocene resulted in the rise of the primate order.What is an example of a negative impact the global warming that is taking place today will likely have?
A)changes in crop production as a result of decreased precipitation
B)extinction of certain species unrelated to habitat loss
C)lower sea levels,resulting in the addition of coastal lands on multiple continents
D)increased species diversity of humans,as happened earlier with other primates

The global warming taking place today is likely to result in changes in precipitation patterns, which can affect crop production negatively. This would be a significant negative impact on human society and could lead to food shortages and economic problems. The extinction of certain species is also a potential negative impact of global warming, but it is related to habitat loss, which is not mentioned in the question. Lower sea levels and increased species diversity of humans are not plausible negative impacts of global warming.
