Species come and go, but is this due to GW?

Question

All we ever hear is dire consequences, with no mention of discoveries or reemergence.

Answer 1

I forget the actual number but either 98 or 99% of all species are extinct.

Answer 2

if it makes you feel better, the Earth currently should be in a cooling phase instead of a warming one, I'm personally happy about not being in an ice age myself but evidently most would rather freeze their @##es off.

Answer 3

global warming, or any other climate phenomena, does not cause species to come into being, or be recreated.

that's just not how it works.

on the other hand climate change clearly causes extinction.

Answer 4

Some probably are, some probably not.   The dodo extinction was due to people, dogs and rats, not GW.

Answer 5

yepp!.animals are going exstinct due to GLOBAL WARMING! and humans are the cause. everytime a person liters...that increases global warming and so that puts more heat onto the earths surface and that is what causes animals homes to get destroyed and the animals soon die. :(

pretty soon if people keep on abusing the earth and its enviroment then alot of animals are gonna become extinct and the world can not afford to have such a  loss.  to some people animals are their best friend....and to others , without animals they wouldn't  be able to survive....animals are very  intelligent and their living habits  help the world. so every time that someone liters they are taking away someones bestfriend and another persons way of surviving.

Answer 6

global warming is killing a few animals, but i think it is more of what people are doing. people take them for granted and say god put them here for us to eat and what not. but people are abusing it. hunters and potchers(or how ever u spell it) are constantly making animals more and more indangered. also the environment is changing around them. some can't adapt to their new surroundings and start to die. hope i was a help. =)

Answer 7

They won't tell people good news that might downplay GW.

The numbers of Polar Bears is actually the same it was in the 50's and now we want to list them as endangered

"However, the report did say: "The total number of polar bears worldwide is estimated to be 20,000-25,000."

Almost 50 years ago, polar bear scientists first estimated there might be as many as 19,000 polar bears. Three years ago, they estimated there might be as few as 20,000.

Who knows? By the time the government decrees polar bears not merely threatened, but endangered, there may be as few as 30,000 roaming the Arctic wastes. "

Answer 8

It is certainly not due to anything humans have caused.  There is nothing special about the times we live in except that they are exceptionally hospitable.  There are those that would like to blame everything they can on humans even when it has zero scientific basis.  About all they can say is that this may happen or that may happen but I can just as credibly say it won't.  When people pretend to have more knowledge about AGW than they do, it is usually because they are pushing a political agenda.

Answer 9

Humans do cause species extinctions through habitat destruction, over-hunting, over-fishing etc.  There is however no evidence that any species has become extinct because of global warming.  It is all a bunch of hyper-sensationalism.

Answer 10

In some cases GW contributes to it but I dont think in all cases -

Like the extinction of the dinosaurs,
