Climate change is killing animals?

Question

How is climate change killing effecting animals and the environment!

What is the United States government doing to change the bad global change

Answer 1

Some say that it has already slowed, including the IPCC and it's policy report they just released. They have lowered the 100 year outlook for temperature rise by 1 degree and they have lowered ocean rise by about half to 17 inches. The IPCC readily admits that its understanding of 7 of the 9 models used in their predictions is low. 7 of 9!!!!! They can't make the models fit data from the past that is known. They cannot back up statements that humans are the primary cause of global warming. There is nothing there that statistically supports that argument.

Journal articles are suggesting that ocean temperatures are stabilizing, The eastern Antarctic is getting colder, the main body of ice in Antarctica is growing (while the oceanic ice shelf is shrinking), 11 of 13 polar bear species are thriving (the other 2 are doing fine), solar radiation has leveled off and may be getting ready to declince, and so on.

We do not need to do anything about global warming, the actions we take now would be useless. Implementing Kyoto will only knock 0.07 degrees off the 100 year temperature predicition, thus making it impossible to actually measure.

Answer 2

Marc G. hasn't spent much time actually reading IPCC reports.They are all available for free online here:
http://www.ipcc.ch/
The most recent report will be released in 3 parts, the first of which was released just this month.

Impacts on Arctic and Antarctic:

(notice that thickening of the Antarctic ice sheet is actually predicted, alongside other effects of climate change.)

Polar Bears:

Penguins and such:

Random information:
Polar bears are a single species: Ursus maritimus. There are arguably either no subspecies or only 2 subspecies of polar bears.

Answer 3

The polar bears are dying for one thing. See global warming has increased temperatures near the more polar arctic regions. And the heat is melting away all the ice caps. When polar bears are swimming in the ocean and looking for these ice caps to rest on, they can't find them and end up drowning.
You should watch the movie "An Inconvenient Truth."

Answer 4

Even if only one degree decreases a change in the environment will take place. If this happens the food chain will change and some species will extinct. The us government is trying but what do you get trying , nothing, you have to really want to do it; because the only time you fail is when you stop trying.

Answer 5

Polar Bears and cubs are drowning,
Whats the US doing ? Denying there is a real problem.and eating up the oil of the world....
