(I'm going to talk a little bit about the two because they are linked)
Climate change over the past ∼30 years has produced numerous shifts in
the distributions and abundances of specie
Rapid global warming caused the largest extinction event in the Earth’s
history, which wiped out the vast majority of marine and terrestrial
animals on the planet, scientists have found.
Over the past century, the modern world has warmed by around 1C due
to the release of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels such as
coal, oil and gas, rather than from volcanic eruptions.
At the same time, Earth’s species are undergoing what some experts have
termed the “sixth great extinction” due to habitat loss, poaching, pollution
and climate change.
Up to half of plant and animal species in the world’s most naturally rich
areas, such as the Amazon and the Galapagos, could face local extinction
by the turn of the century due to climate change if carbon emissions
continue to rise unchecked.
“Hotter days, longer periods of drought, and more intense storms are
becoming the new normal, and species around the world are already
feeling the effects,
scientist discover that animal species that interact with a low diversity of
plant species have narrow climatic niches and are most vulnerable to
climate change.
Some are using more energy than they consume
Four of nine bears in study lost 10% or more of their body mass in 8 to 11
day period
The bears need sea ice to hunt seals that make up more than the 95% of
their diet, but sea ice is decreasing by 14 % each decade due to the global
warming this means they have to travel farther to find seals.
Sea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer
As a conclusion I can say human are dangerous for earth (so mean stupid)
Drought = Sequias
Poaching = Caza furtiva
Coal =carbón
