8 Land Animals Affected By Global Warming, According to Scientists Scientists say animals are being affected by global warming as climate change, which has occurred naturally throughout history, has accelerated over the past century through increased CO2 emissions. If an animal can't respond to climate changes by migration or adaptation, extinction is the logical progression.

Arctic food web and the impacts of Climate Change Climate change is having a rapid impact on the Arctic food web on land and on the ice. The Arctic is home to the polar bear, caribou, musk oxen, walrus, the beluga and bowhead whales. The creatures most at risk from a warming planet are those that permanently live in the Arctic and depend on sea ice for their survival.

Effects of Global Warming The effects of global warming on the Earth's ecosystems are expected to be profound and widespread. Many species of plants and animals are already moving their range northward or to higher altitudes as a result of warming temperatures, according to a report from the National Academy of Sciences.

- What's at Stake. Global warming is already having significant and harmful effects on our communities, our health, and our climate. Sea level rise is accelerating. The number of large wildfires is growing. Dangerous heat waves are becoming more common. Extreme storm events are increasing in many areas.

3 (Non-Human) Animals That Make Climate Change Worse We have the intelligence and research to understand the trouble we’re causing, yet we’re still largely ignoring the urgency to change our behaviors. Simply put, on an earth without humans, the beavers and Arctic ground squirrels would have a negligible effect on changing the climate.

Global Warming Effects and Causes: A Top 10 List Global Warming Effects and Causes: A Top 10 List. One of the biggest issues facing us right now is global warming. Its effects on animals and on agriculture are indeed frightening, and the effects on the human population are even scarier. The facts about global warming are often debated in politics and the media, but, unfortunately, even if we disagree about the causes, global warming effects are real, global, and measurable.

Consequences of Global Warming: Which Countries are Most Affected? Global warming is something that the world has been afraid of for the last decade or so, though many people scoff at it. With politicians like Al Gore placing more focus on the issue, people are realizing that it really is a problem – not just some “Doomsday” prediction made by eco-nuts.

Global Warming Causes The good news is that, because we as humans caused global warming, we can also do something about it. To avoid this level of warming, large emitters such as the United States need to greatly reduce heat-trapping gas emissions by mid century.f course, land and ocean temperature is only one way to measure the effects of climate change. A warming world also has the potential to change rainfall and snow patterns, increase droughts and severe storms, reduce lake ice cover, melt glaciers, increase sea levels, and change plant and animal behavior.

Wildlife conservation Global Warming and Extreme Weather. Global warming is making hot days hotter, rainfall and flooding heavier, hurricanes stronger and droughts more severe. This intensification of weather and climate extremes will be the most visible impact of global warming in our everyday lives. It is also causing dangerous changes to the landscape of our world, adding stress to wildlife species and their habitat.
