How animal habitats are affected by global warming?

Question

sup guys? im doing a project on animal extinction and wildlife habitat due to global warming. i have a lot of info on specifically WHAT animals will be affected (mostly arctic) and about climate change and rising ocean levels but i need info on what other habitats will be affected and how. obvi i know about melting ice caps and flooding and drying up of wetlands in some places DUE to climate change. but i need more. does anyone have any sites that i can go on or any specific credible info??? pleaseeeeee. leave it!!!!

Answer 1

Animal Habitats are affected by

1.Fire in Forest

(In Australia, California and so on)

2..Excess Snowfall/Excess Heat

3.Deforestation

4.Rising Ocean Level

5.Dumbing Carbages in River Water and it is mixing with Sea Water.

6.Plastic Bags

( killing Cows/Bufflos in India)

7.Polluted Water ( like Dyes/Chemicals etc) killing Fishes

( in tamil Nadu many cattles dying because of Polluted water in River/Pools/Water Tanks)

8.Recently some Elephentsin tamil Nadu-India leaves forest in search of Food and cross a Railway line. all the Four Elephent killed by Train.

9.Bull Fighting in Tamil Nadu-In India disturbs Bulls because of Ancient habit. ( Now a days Bulll Fighting is not good we are hurting Animals.

The above are affecting our Animal Habitats.

Answer 2

As a geologist, I understand better than most that as climates change, which they constantly do in geologic time, habitats migrate.  You can envision the tundra migrating southward as the climate cools and migrates northward as it warms.  This is nothing new.  Often extinction events get exaggerated by people that don't understand these natural events.  For example if you are looking a particular site in North Dakota.  You might conclude that particular species became extinct as cold adapted creatures moved in but in fact they simply were forced southward by changing habitats.  These adjustments occur constantly.  The modern left sees these changes as inevitably human caused and necessarily bad.

Answer 3

There are none.  Warmth is good for life.  More species have been discovered in the last decade than in other modern times.

Answer 4

Coral reefs are thought to be particularly vulnerable to climate change.  For a discussion of the impact on the Great Barrier Reef see:  http://www.gbrmpa.gov.au/corp_site/key_i...

Answer 5

They become extinct. And when animals become extinct then soon after the human race. And I don't understand why humans can't get off there lazy bums & help the world instead of hurting it. Watch either Discovery Channel or Science Channel you could get alot of info. from those channels.

I am going to college to help prevent wildlife/ forestry from going extinct.

Ps this is how global warming is affecting the world every 20 minutes a species is becoming extinct. And in that same time 170,000 acres of the rainforest is cut down.

I vote to kill off all humans except the very smart & ones that want to help the earth not harm it.
