How Is Global Warming Having an Effect on Our Wildlife?

By Marasia Reece


To be able to know how deadly global warming might be to the planet, we must as a prerequisite understand just how intricately our world works. Our eco-system on this planet is a very definite operation, for instance, fish feed at the coral reefs in the seas and if those reefs start to vanish (as they are) then that may affect the fish that feed there, potentially causing entire species to die out.

Are you attempting to find cheap tires?

You see everything is dependent upon everything else in our environment. Birds and other wildlife live in the trees that are presently being so quickly cut down. Once that happens, the birds have to go someplace else, where there is likely other wildlife already there and that puts a heavier burden on those animals. There is a cause and effect to everything that goes on.

Global warming has already become a huge threat to the fauna of this planet and scientists claim that global warming is the one largest threats to the wildlife here on earth. If we don't start to take the correct steps to reduce this phenomenon, then we risk putting rather more of these frail ecosystems out of commission.

There has been a great deal of damage done to the ecosystems here on Earth that are only going to become worse if we don't start acting on them now. Penguins for example are starting to suffer seriously thanks to the loss of ice in the arctic regions. The ice disappears and this has the effect of lessening the quantity of algae in the water. The salt water shrimp which make up the bulk of the penguins diet therefore can't survive since they eat the algae. Without the salt water shrimp, then penguins can't survive in the area either.

Polar bears and seals are also struggling to conform to changing climate in the arctic. Seals move from ice path to ice path and mate, have their young and feed there. Polar bears are much the same, and the disappearing ice there is leaving them with less and fewer places to be in a position to carry out their life functions.

Surely you are beginning to see the pattern here and realizing that when one thing is influenced in the world, other things get affected also. Certainly you can see how eventually this is going to get to us humans as well.

For example as the world population increases, we human beings are putting out more and more carbon-dioxide each year than previously. If you remember from early science classes you can make the connection that trees soak up the carbon-dioxide that we put out and produce oxygen.

While there are far more of us on the planet each year (and this trend doesn't seem to be reversing) and far less trees every year, does it not stand to reason from a common sense viewpoint that ultimately we are going to reach a tipping point where the trees are not able to keep up with us. These aren't hard arguments to make or to follow, but some just do not want us to be forced to change our lifestyles here on our home.
