Global warming is causing species to respond to a warmer climate by moving to cooler locations. Most animals live in areas with very specific climate conditions‚ such as temperature that enable them to thrive. Any change in the climate of an area can affect the animals living there‚ as well as the makeup of the entire ecosystem‚ global warming is causing these issues. Many animals are harmed and/or killed by global warming. Water temperature is affecting many animals‚ which is causing population

issue around the world. There are anthropogenic and natural causes which are responsible for this cause but individually they contribute a small amount but are a huge factor as a whole. One of the main problems about the climate change is global warming. What is global warming? It is the increase in the mean temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere.

Many people believe that trying to fix global warming is a hopeless task‚ however global warming can be halted and could even be reversed. This is a very daunting challenge because it means that people have to change the way they live and do things. We could all choose to ignore this situation but the future impact on our planet is huge. Global warming not only brings about climate changes but also will reduce the level of breathable air (O2) and reduce the levels of drinkable water on our planet
