Global Warming by Trinity
Global Warming is affecting many different types of environments: the tundra, rain-forests, grasslands, taiga, deciduous forests and many more other habitats to many different kinds of animals and plants. Many of you might be thinking what is Global Warming? I'll answer that question for you. Global Warming is when the Earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide and methane) trap heat and light from the sun's atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals and plants. Global Warming is driving more floods and melting arctic ice and is removing hunting grounds from polar bears. Warmer water temperature will cause population decline for trout, salmon and many other species that require cold water to survive. In deciduous forest and rain-forests many humans are cutting down a lot of trees that belong to different kinds of animals such as the Poison Dart Frog, Manatee, Golden Lion Tamarind Monkey, Bengal Tiger, the Harpy Eagle, Orangutan, and many other types of endangered species. The Arctic Fox, Caribou, Ermine, Grizzly Bears, Harlequin duck, Musk Ox, Polar Bears, and the Snowy Owl are all important endangered species in the Tundra. Snow Leopards, Siberian Tiger, Siberian Crane, Wood Bison (Buffalo), Peregrine Falcon, Whopping Crane, and Canada Lynx are taiga's most important endangered species. There are also many others endangered species in many different important habitats. What would you do to stop Global Warming? Which endangered species would you save and why?
