What are specific ways that global warming is damaging to plants, animals, and climate?

Question

I really need help on this question. I don't have enough time to do this question. My alarm rang too softly to wake me up, and I'm hoping that someone can help me save my grade on this assignment. Thanks for viewing this question.

Answer 1

One example is that the raised carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emmisions are building up and compounding with the water vapour in the air. This consequentially creates acidic rain and poisonous compounds. Acid rain has many detrimental side-effects to plants and animals including loosening aluminuium from the soil which prevents plant roots from absorbing other nutrients because they are covered in aluminium. Also aluminium blocks fish gills and contaminates waterways which is obviously not good for the surrounding envrionments. Also some essential bacteria that naturally exist have acclimatised to very specific weather and temperature conditions. Such bacteria is nitrogenfixing bacteria which are dying out because of increased carbon dioxide and gradually increasing temperatures. I have many, many other examples but I'm bored now. Good luck.

Answer 2

global warming is affecting the polar bears. since it's warmer now the snow caps are melting and so the polar bears are losing their habitat. polar bears swim long distances for whatever their reasons are and when they get tired they rest on a floating piece of ice but now there's less floating ice for the polar bears to rest on and then they drown from being too tired to keep swimming and holding themselves up.

Answer 3

Illegal logging, mining and other damages to natural resources. Pollutions such as too much smoke on vehicles, factories,arson and other illegal fires, etc.

Answer 4

basicly pick any ecosystem and it will be effected.

eg.

plankton thrive in cool nutrient rich waters.

global warming could warm these waters disrupting the currents that bring up nutrients from deep in the ocean.

this results in less plankton, less plankton means less food for small fish, which intern causes less food for larger fish. etc etc.

Answer 5

Oh man. I work at a Zoo Get ready to hear it.

Global warming not only effects the people in which we live but it also effects the planet, in which ways of plants animals and the especially the climate.

Animals are in desperate need to continue adjusting to the shifting climates. (If you haven't noticed, It keeps snowing, later and later..) Plants that are used to water are getting TOO much of it. For example the most reported Hurricanes from 2 years ago.

I can go on and on..if you need more help just email me.

Answer 6

Plants: most plants do better in warmer more humid air.

Animals: Some do better, some need to adapt- as they have done for millions of years on the earth as climate has constantly changed over and over and over...

Climate??? Huh? How does warming damage "climate"?  I don't know how you can damage climate.
