What animals are being affected and how?

The animals that are being affected are all of the land arctic animals. These animals rely on the polar ice caps to live. Because of Global Warming, these ice caps are melting. When these melt that forces the animals to swim for land and eventually, the animals will die of starvation, drowning and many more reasons to how they die.


How has glacial melting affected some areas in Canada?

it hasnt effected it at all. save the polar bears!!


What animals will be affected by global warming first?

There are so many animals affected by global warming, it's hard to reason, but I'd have to say it was the polar bear. Polar bears are finding less and less ice to live and rest on due to this serious problem. When they swim to catch food, the polar bears have to leave the ice, and when they come back, in most cases they drown because the ice is all gone due to melting away by global warming. I hope this answers your question!


Does global warming affect arctic animals?

Global warming has had some impact on the animals of the Arctic and Antarctic (there are actually no animals at either Pole). Being an ice shelf, rather than a land mass, the North Pole is more prone to melting, decreasing in size over at least the last five decades. Currently, global warming affects animals because the melting of freshwater ice affects the marine creatures. These creatures also cannot withstand the warmer sea temperatures. Habitat loss is a major issue. In the Antarctic, there has been a 33% decrease in some penguin populations due to habitat loss.

What Canadian animals are affected by global warming?

Polar bears are being affected by the reduction of their habitat, the sea ice. Other animals may be being affected, but there is not enough data to be certain yet.


Why are polar bears a cause of global warming?

Polar bears are not a cause of global warming. They are being affected by climate change in that their habitat is decreasing in size (as the sea ice is melting).


Are the polar bears being affected by the melting of polar ice caps?

yes because they live on ice and now thay have to adapt to their fast changing surroundings which they are finding it hard to.


What animals will be affected when the polar ice caps melt?

Various animals will be affected when polar ice caps melt, including polar bears, seals, walrus, penguins, and Arctic birds. These animals rely on the ice for hunting, breeding, and resting, and the melting ice threatens their habitats and food sources. Additionally, some fish species that depend on cold water may also be impacted.


What animal populations are being affected by emissions from power plants?

Bears, polar bears, and coral reefs (although they aren't animals).


Are pandas being affected by global warming just like polar bears?

Pandas and polar bears are affected by global warming because their habitats are being destroyed. For the pandas, bamboo forests are being affected by changes in rainfall and temperature. For the polar bears, Arctic sea ice is melting, more and more each year, and this makes the bears' seal-hunting period shorter every year. Weak female bears cannot bear and successfully rear cubs.

Why are the polar ice caps being damaged?
