Global warming changes natural habitats making them unliveable for many species

====

Global warming was the first effect identified that was shown to lead to species extinction events. For instance, a mountain frog would migrate from lower to higher elevations annually to survive. The species is now extinct because of global climate instability. The frog reached the top of the mountain and it was still too warm and their species died, all of them; extinct.

There is a difference between Mass Extinction and Global Extinction.

Mass Extinction is where a large percentage of a species dies.

-- This is like a plague that wipes out 90% of a species

Global Extinction is where the entire population of a species becomes extinct.

-- This is like the mountain frog, it is completely extinct

-- Melting of the Methane Permafrost could release enough methane to

kill all humans

Total Extinction is where all species globally become extinct; including ourselves.

-- A large asteroid, black hole on a trajectory with our solar system, a

near region super-nova, super-volcano eruption, abnormally large

Solar Mass Ejection, ...

Do meteors affect global warming?

No, meteors do not have a direct impact on global warming. Global warming is primarily driven by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the trapping of heat. Meteors are natural occurrences and are not significant contributors to changes in the Earth's climate.


Does global warming affect intertidal zone?

Yes, global warming can impact intertidal zones by causing sea levels to rise, increasing ocean temperatures, and altering ecosystems. These changes can affect the distribution and abundance of intertidal species, as well as disrupt their interactions and overall biodiversity.


How will global warming affect us in NZ?

Global warming is projected to increase temperatures in New Zealand, leading to more extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall. This can impact agriculture, water resources, and infrastructure in the country. Additionally, rising sea levels will pose a threat to coastal communities and ecosystems in New Zealand.


Does global warming affect food land or the economy?

Global warming can affect the supply of food and the quality of the land. Global warming can increase the frequency of disasters such as hurricanes and drought. The economy eventually goes into recess if the country relied on agriculture for a great percentage of the income.


Why does global warming decrease temperatures?

True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist. Some global warming followers will have you believe that global warming makes the weather "act crazy". If true, then it is not really global warming, is it.
