Seals and sea turtles on the verge of extinction
Global warming is not just causing polar bears to die, but seals as well. According to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4313726.stm" many seals are losing their habitats because of global warming. While many species are able to adapt to the new climate changes, and easily migrate to a different and secure location, this is a whole different concept for seals. The option of moving to conditions away from the poles doesn't go well with seals because they need the ice to stay alive. Many seals are actually drowning swimming large distances to find ice.

What global warming is and how its affecting our enivornment.
"Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming)
Global warming is affecting everything in the environment. It increases sea level thus covering many islands. When this happens the water covers the plants and causes them to die. You can see that once one chain is broken everything around it is affected and this is what global warming is causing to Earth.

Oceans of course are also affected. Global warming is causing them to get warmer, which is killing the algae in the ocean. This algae is a producer(makes own food) and is used as food for many consumers. These consumers are fish crabs and many more, how does this affect us?
Well, humans and fishing markets depend on fish because its a valuable source of protein.
Global warming is doing as much catastrophic damage to people as it is to animals. Humans, trees,oceans,animals everything is part of our life cycle, but global warming is disturbing such cycle. Global warming is actually causing plants & trees to dry completely causing them to actually set on fire. Its effects right now are devastating just imagine later on how it will affect not just us but everything that coexists.Resources:
