  1. Aadvark, ant, anteater, antelope... zebra!


  2. All species are affected by climate change, including humans. All animal species survive best under optimal condtions and if climate change were to occur, then most species would be unable to survive and breed meaning they would be a risk of extinction.  

  3. EVERY.

    SINGLE.

    ONE.

  4. The effects are system wide.  Most if not all species will be affected.  

    From the first link below:

    "From crickets to abalone, butterflies to birds, biologists have already observed wildlife reacting to an altered climate. Some are migrating or breeding sooner. Some are leaving inhospitable homes and flourishing or foundering in new ones."

    From the 2nd, in reference to the Mountain Pine Beetle:

    "Research shows that, with warming, the beetles are

    becoming able to complete a full reproductive cycle in whitebark pine habitat."  What that means is that emerging larvae can overwhelm the defenses not only of damaged trees but also of healthy ones. Not good, when healthy trees are needed to sequester carbon.

    In California, the American Pika represents the first documented species affected by the crisis.  A few more species impacted: the least tern, and the poster child for climate change, the polar bear.

  5. All animals are affected by climate change, not necessarily negatively though.

  6. dogs cows and koala bears

  7. Human’s because we think too much about stupid things.


  8. Polar Bears rely on their icy ecosystem for food, shelter and breeding. As the ice melts, their habitat is disappearing, you could consider it similar to deforestation in the way that the animals homes are being taken away. Recently, scientists have found polar bears that have drowned, as a result of exhaustion for they could not find ice to rest upon.

    Really, any animals that are situated in polar and sub-polar regions are being effected the most, as these are the areas where climate fluctuations are acutely impacting the pristine environment.

  9. Politicians, scientists and environmentalists may all be adversely affected if the predicted warming doesn't resume sometime soon. The warmest year on record was 10 years ago, in 1998 and the past year was much cooler than recent years. If their dire predictions do come true then no species will be exempt since the Earth will stop supporting life. But that's not going to happen and their predictions will once more fail to materialize since the Earth has been thru this cycle hundreds of times before and never experienced the catastrophic warming they claim will happen. Assuming they let anyone speak or publish accurate info in the future about this issue, they'll have to move on to a new scary bedtime story.
