effects of GlObal warming
There is a thing going on in the world right now, it is called Global Warming. Global Warming is that during the past 50 years the weather has been increasing at fast rates. This is affecting the world, animals, and humans in many ways. Polar bears are dying , water levels are rising and Musk Oxen may become extinct.
POLAR BEAR
Global warming is a problem because it’s is killing a lot of animals. An example of this is polar bears. If polar bears become extinct then there would be a lot more seals. Seals are one of the main food sources of polar bears. The main food sources of a seal are fish. If there are a lot of seals then they will begin to eat the fish and the amount of fish would start to decrease. It would get to the point where seals also start to die and then there goes 3 species that became extinct due to global warming. Global Warming is causing polar bears to die because the increasing of the weather is melting the ice caps. This is the habitat of polar bears meaning they have no where else to live.
Rising Sea Levels
Sea levels increasing is bad for the world because this would mean there will be less land. Humans would be affected by this a lot because they would have to find places higher than the sea level. The reason sea levels are increasing is because of global warming. Global warming melts land based ice and ice sheets. When these melt it creates more water and the water builds up making the level rise.
musk oxen
Musk oxen have adapted to live in the coldest areas. Since Global warming is the climate rising, it will be hard for the musk oxen so to survive since they’re use to being in cold temperatures instead of hot temperatures. They may become extinct since global warming is shrinking their habitats by making it hotter. This means each summer that passes will be way more hotter and way more longer. Since musk oxen can’t survive in such temperatures they might over heat and die. If the mothers die the babies of the mother won’t have anyone to care for them meaning they will die right after there mothers.
Global warming is a serious problem in today’s society. It is hurting animals, humans, and the world in general. It has been going on for the past 50 years. It is hurting polar bears by melting the ice. It is hurting people because it is rising sea levels. Lastly it is hurting musk oxen by limiting the places where they can live by having temperatures rise.
