how is global warming affecting the plant & animal life?

Answer 1

Well, because of the recent drought, my fruit trees and shrubs are suffering,( lack of water then an unexpected freeze) The unbalanced weather has killed my 10 year old Azaleas, Apple Trees and Grape Vines. The chickens have started practicing Cannibalism, ( something they do when it's too cold and they huddle constantly)., and my horses are stiffening up because the cold hurts their joints. Oh, by the way...My joints are hurting more often too.

Answer 2

The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result, the temperature rises.

The sun’s heat can get into the car through the windows but is then trapped. This makes what ever the place might be, a greenhouse, a car, a building, or the earth’s atmosphere, hotter. This diagram shows the heat coming into a car as visible light (light you can see) and infrared light (heat). Once the light is inside the car, it is trapped and the heat builds up, just like it does in the earth’s atmosphere.

Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it, the earth would be freezing, or on the other hand it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because the sun would be down. We would not get the sun’s heat and light to make the night somewhat warm. During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter it, so people, plants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.

Answer 3

Warming increases the capacity for life on earth. It is beneficial to both animals and plants. Hopefully the current (fifteen year) cooling trend is coming to an end and we can get back into the warming trend that we have enjoyed since the end of the Little Ice Age.

Answer 4

WHy shouldnt it, I think us as citizens or World Citizens need to do are parts even if its hard it will be since theres accomodations where used to,I think World leaders or just our Country needs to come up with a plan to help conserve energy more maybe a turn of Power week or even just a day to help a little with conserving the energy so our arctic and amazing parts of the earth are not destroyed,we already destoyed some sacred Indian ground with a religion buildings were not supposed to be built and touched on Holy ground ,we need to come up with something ,good question!!!!!!

Answer 5

It is already starting to kill off your animal life. Our vegetation is dying, where one day we could find the cure for many different diseases. It is becoming warmer in areas where normally is colder. Water level will rise due to it becoming warmer in the North Pole. Until the government gets off it's _ _ _ we are in trouble!!!

Answer 6

If a cliamte changes faster than the animal or plant to adapt, they will disappear.

Answer 7

Some species are already either extinct or they are close to being gone. Evolution is already kicking in for some of the lower forms.
