Birds. Some animals get disease from they eat and drink. An antibiotic was discovered in the soils of the threatened New Jersey Pine Barrens Natural Area. Significant impact of global warming is already discernible in animal and plant populations. The synergism of rapid temperature rise and other stresses, in particular habitat destruction, could easily disrupt the connectedness among species and lead to a reformulation of species communities, reflecting differential changes in species, and to numerous extirpations and possibly extinctions. Global warming is quickly becoming the biggest threat to the long-term survival of America’s wildlife. Average temperatures in the U.S. over the last century have already increased by more than one degree Fahrenheit. Seven of the top 10 warmest years on record for the contiguous 48 states have occurred since 1998, and 2012 was the warmest year on record. Without significant new steps to reduce carbon pollution, our planet will warm by 7 to 11 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, with devastating consequences for wildlife. In the western U.S., warming and drought stress are causing trees to die and making them more vulnerable to pine beetle and other insect infestations. Higher temperatures and increased fuel from dead trees have led to more wildfires. Global warming can lead to mass species extinction. Some scientists predict as many as a third of all species will become extinct by 2050. Goble warming mess up the food chain. It cost many play to die off of drought. Polar bears rely heavily on Arctic sea ice, which is rapidly disappearing due to global warming. Climate change is altering key habitat elements that are critical to wildlife's survival and putting natural resources in jeopardy. Many scientists believe the rate of climate change is too rapid for various species to keep up. The gas is considered by many scientists to be responsible for global warming and has consistently breached the mark for a
