Why is global warming have an effect on female caribou giving birth?

∙ 13y ago
Science Daily warns that fewer caribou calves are being born and more of them are dying in West Greenland as a result of a warming climate. Data shows that this is occurring because spring plant growth is occurring earlier and the timing of peak food availability no longer corresponds to the timing of caribou births. When the animals arrive at their calving grounds now, pregnant females find that the plants on which they depend already have reached peak productivity and have begun to decline in nutritional value.
This phenomenon, called trophic mismatch, is a predicted consequence of climate change.

What is the greenhouse effect killing?
The green house effect is the capturing of our sun's warmth by gases in our atmosphere. This is the ONLY green hose effect on the planet and is a basic requirement of life. The green house effect provides all life a place to exist on the planet and kills nothing. Without this life giving event, we would be a dead planet. The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming is killing trees, animals and insects, and humans too, usually during heat waves.
Is the news making global warming sound worse than it is?
Not at all. By giving space to the opposing side, that variously claims that global warming is not happening, is happening but is not a problem, or is happening and is a problem but we have no power to stop it, the news media is unintentionally playing down the problem of global warming. This is a concern for scientists, who say global warming is real but can be stopped if we take decisive action before it is too late.
