Global warming has become perhaps the most
complicated issue facing our society today. Fossil-fuel emissions of Co2
through human activities are especially thought to be the largest cause of
recent climate warming. Climate change is forcing every living creature on our
planet to adapt to its changes. As global warming impact becomes stronger and
stronger, animals find it more and more difficult to adapt. Changed weather
conditions and more frequent extreme weather events will cause many animals to
go extinct.
