2.  Without global climate change, wildlife needs….  The right temperature  Fresh water  A food source  A place to raise young

3.  Over the last 50 years, human activities – particularly the burning of fossil fuels – have released sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to trap additional heat in the lower atmosphere and affect the global climate.  In the last 100 years, the world has warmed by approximately 0.75 o C. Over the last 25 years, the rate of global warming has accelerated, at over 0.18 o C per decade.

4.  Birds moved their migration time up three weeks.  Loss of ice in the Arctic- polar bears drowned and spent more time on land because of their food source. (seals)  There is less of a diversity of animals (salmon and trout because they need colder water to live in.)  The temperature of the sand is also a factor because the sex of turtles depends on it.  Hotter water temperatures also impact lobsters because it induces stress on them.

5.  Caused over 140,000 excess deaths annually since 2004  Extreme Heat  (cardiovascular, respiratory illness)  Natural Disasters  Infection  At risk  Islands  Coastal Regions  Developing countries

6.  Forgo fossil fuels  Infrastructure upgrade  Buildings emit more that 1/3 of all greenhouse gasses  Consume less  Be efficient  Eat smart  Stop cutting down trees  Unplug devices  Move closer to work  Transportation  World Health Organization is spreading awareness about the negative effects of Global Climate Change.
