29. A Change in Climate From one day to the next, weather can have a big effect on your life. When it rains, you have to stay in doors or carry an umbrella. When it’s cold, you have to bundle up. Over the course of hundreds, thousands, and millions of years, weather trends affect life on Earth in more dramatic ways. Ice ages or long droughts, for example, can wipe out certain types of plants and animals. Although many species manage to survive such extreme long-term climate shifts, their living conditions also change.
