Environmental Effects On Animals

Climate change has affected us in many ways, but it was even more influential on organisms and their community. The Earth is gradually heating and we are left to deal with the consequences. Homes are being destroyed, organisms are dying, and resources are running low. Since 1880, Our Earth’s temperature had increased by about 0.8 degrees Celsius. Climate change is affecting the Earth and scientists say that one more degree will greatly affect people from all over the world. There are many consequences of climate change and each one has a great impact on all of us, but organisms’ homes are being destroyed and thousands of species are dying out. These organisms are imperative to our world and how it functions.

Many animals around the world are severely affected by climate change. Climate change is the rise in average temperatures on Earth’s surface. When humans interact with fossil fuels, which are coal, natural gases, and oil, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and can have a great effect on climate change. These changes include rising sea levels, landscapes being more prone to wildfires, and the pollen season length getting longer. Although these may be important, I think that the most important cause of climate change is how severely animals are affected by this. Animals like polar bears, snow leopards, and the Orang-utan struggle to survive everyday in result of climate

The most important stakeholder in the this issue are animals, as they are currently facing the most lethal impacts of climate change. And one very important group that has been working very hard to deal with environmental issues is the Climate Action

In everyday news, there is always that one article that talks about how climate changes are scary and how it is affecting all of us. Some of us read it carefully and some of us just do not care. But it is a global issue that humans need to come together and think about. Throughout the history of human evolution, many revolutions have occurred (e.g. industrial revolution). Inventions of complex technologies and industries have caused pollution through the emissions of many greenhouse gases. One of the main climate change, increasing the temperature of the environment, is global warming. An increasing greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation and rapid burning of fossil fuels are continually causing the warming of the climate. The sunlight is the main source of energy on the planet but when greenhouse gases increase in the environment, it traps the heat radiating from earth toward space, causing the global warming. This “greenhouse effect” not only affects the plants but also animals including humans. Polar bear is one of those animal species that has been affected very much from this warming of the weather. Polar bears live

Shifts in temperature and precipitation will be a shock to fragile ecosystems which depend on specific climatic conditions. Many species will be unable to adapt as fast as their environment changes and face sharply reduced numbers or extinction. Scientists estimate that a warming of just 2 degree will put as many as 30% of the world's species at risk of extinction. Plants and animals aren’t the only ones feeling the pressure of changing ecosystems. Many regions will face severe water shortages in a warmer world, creating the potential for conflict. It is believed that the genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region is at least in part a response to water shortages resulting from global warming.

The latest survey conducted by the US Forest Service shows that as many as 97% of the animals of the Arctic could be affected as a result of the observed warming. The climate change may occur faster in the Arctic region. Scientists have developed computer models to predict changes in the environment and their impact on the 162 species of birds and 39 species of mammals in the Arctic.

In this article the authors present well researched information to prove their point that global warming could lead to a disruption of the connectedness within different populations of animals and could even cause a reorganization of species communities. The authors provide an ample amount of information about what global warming has already done to animals in order to support their predictions of what this means for the future. Despite having more than enough evidence to support that global warming is affecting animals, a majority of the paper is hypotheticals about what could happen for the future thus making it less credible. The authors do an exceptional job of using ethos and pathos throughout the piece. They use ethos when discussing

The cutting down of forest areas eliminate the habitats that many different animals need to survive, such as the African elephant, rhinoceros, and mountain gorilla. Other environmental changes affect the wellbeing of animals as well such as global warming. Global warming is mostly caused by CO2, also known as green gases that are emitted into the atmosphere which weakens the earth's ability to protect against the sun's harmful rays that lead to higher temperatures. As most people already know contributors of global warming are power plants, gas guzzling cars, and the burning of fossil fuels but what many didn’t know is that animal agriculture contributes as well. This climate change can cause droughts which lead to the movement of different animals in search of components that are important to their survival.

Climate change is a prominent issue around the world. Pollution, deforestation, emissions and carelessness of humans pose threats to the earth’s flora and fauna. Animals, plants, agriculture and ecosystems themselves are being harmed by the constantly rising temperatures. Earth’s wildlife is a key factor of survival, producing materials needed to make necessities, food, and recreation. Many countries are experiencing the negative impacts of climate change, including the United States. If temperatures continue to rise, much of the US’ wildlife will be diminished.

Other species are being affected by this global warming. Especially, the animals that survive on ice like polar bears. Impacts of global warming include the melting of ice in the Antarctic; this is due to the rising temperature of the ocean surrounding the ice which then causes melting. However, some people argue that the ice caps are growing rather than shrinking so they completely devalue the issue of global warming. This is not necessarily true, since the heat from the ocean causes the ice to melt but the melted ice (turned into fresh water) also freezes immediately after it melts. So it is still an issue that is supposed to keep an eye on. The ecological impacts of ice melting would be the reduction of small ice caps which polar bears land

"We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words” (Anna Sewell). There is undeniable evidence that animals are being affected by climate change. Even though the effects are difficult to measure, there are many different ways animals are being affected. With the loss of predator and prey species it affects the life cycles in the food chain. The earth’s climate change causes habitats such as snow, ice, or forest areas to alter, resulting in loss of habitat and food accessibility as well as causing extinction.

Global Warming has been questioned by many people on whether it is actually real or fake. It is very obvious that it is real because a lot of the Arctic sea ice has been melting over the last few years. Another very obvious sign that global warming is happening is many animals are struggling to deal with it, therefore the size of their population is decreasing every year. One example of an animal that’s population is starting to contract with global warming in effect are polar bears. According to the WWF polar bear population is decreasing around the area with the melting Arctic sea ice. The sea ice is melting because of global warming, which directly gives the polar bears a disadvantage because they utilize the ice to live as well as hunt

Did you know that Climate change is affecting people all around the world? Climate change is a very bad thing that has been going on for hundreds of years. So many things are being affected by climate change. Things that are being affected are trees, plants, animals, and even people. One reason that climate change is happening is that the earth is always in orbit so the climate is always changing. Climate change isn’t only nature, climate change is caused from humans, the sun, and animals. We are causing climate change by burning things. Scientists predicted this and they’re using models to predict climate change. Snow leopards in the Himalayas are dieing off. Asian Rhinos depend on floodplain grasslands and climate change changes the seasonal patterns the Rhinos go off of. Orang-utans are also one of the species at risk from deforestation. The ice that the Polar Bears use for homes are slowly starting to melt which means they are becoming more and more crowded.

In order for us to help the wildlife during global warming we need to decrease the amount of pollution we put in the air. We can do this by reducing the amount of energy we use and how many times we use our vehicles in a day. We could also stop littering and start recycling. Land development is also a cause. All of these ways can lead to deterioration of certain species’ habitats. This is a serious problem and i want to persuade and and inform you what we can do to stop it and how it is affecting everyday life lives all the way to to the littlest things to the biggest thing. Global warming is growing at a faster and faster rate. Society thinks global warming is not a big deal and is okay with it. Nobody should be okay with this. Global warming is a horrible way of how we treat yourself, our planet, and the animals.

Climate change is one of the major issues surfacing earth over the past century. The earth’s temperature has increased over the years leading to detrimental effects on the economic and life sources of people, especially that of agricultural production and livestock. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary (2014), defined climate change as a change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid late 20th century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, (2007) predicts that by 2100 the increase in global average surface temperature may be between 1.8° C and 4.0° C. With increases of 1.5° C to 2.5° C, approximately 20 to 30 percent of plant and animal species are expected to be at risk of extinction. Moreover, the IPCC (2007)
