"Sea turtles are also being dramatically affected by global warming. Some of their precious beach nesting sites will disappear because of global warming. Scientists think that nearly a third of beaches used by turtles in the Caribbean could be lost during this century."states http://www.show.me.uk/site/news/STO903.html.
Warmer seas caused by global warming could make many turtles become entierly female during breeding. Why? well water temperature for sea turtles strongly affects the sex ratio of there hatch lings. Only producing female turtles, will of course make no more offspring because they cant produce on there own.
Another problem is global warming is striking these poor animals so rapidly that they don't have the time to adapt and evolve new strategies for survival. We can help by speaking out to the president becoming activists and giving donations to trusted companies that will preserve their habitat and maintain their life cycle.

Okay, after my first comment, I'm official tired now. So I'll just comment about the video of the bearded seal. That's incredibly heart-breaking, even given the fact that I couldn't care less about the seal in general; it's just plain sad. Perhaps they should advertise that video EVERYWHERE and people would realize the dramatic effects. Sooner or later, we will suffer a more horrific fate than those seals.
so my school computer didn't let me see the videos because they're BLOCKED! But i have seen some videos especially of SEA TURTLES losing their habitats an it is really sad :(
that video was so said i really wanted to just go out there and help it :-(
