If the climate changes to warm humidity they are extremely uncomfortable because they such long fur for cold cold weather.
The above shows the panic and lack of information on this subject. The reality is that the worst case we have seen over the past 150 years is 0.2 degrees (c). If we go back 200 years, the number gets smaller. The wolves do not care.

How are gray wolves affected by global warming?
Wolves, as far as we know, are not affected by global warming.
What do wolves have to do with global warming?
Scientists can use wolves as 'indicators' to learn more about global warming by their migration patterns and hunting patterns. Depending on what they hunt and when can tell you more about global warming, because of the limited amounts of certain animals that the wolves eat. Also, you can tell by where they are going, like if prey is short in a certain area, they will move, so scientists know then that something is causing the animals to die or go somewhere else, which is often the effect of global warming. This mostly goes for arctic wolves, because the ice is melting, so their prey is dying off because of the habitat loss.
How does global warming affect wolves?
Global warming mostly effects arctic wolves that live in areas with lots of ice and snow, so one factor that causes population decrease is the loss of habitat, which is also caused by human stretching. Global warming also destroys the habitat of wolves' prey, so they die and wolves have less food, so they are forced to hunt in harder conditions with more challenging, larger prey that can survive global warming. Not only is the prey harder to get, but the land the wolves hunt in is less 'white' without snow, so they have a much harder time blending in, because of their white, or light colored fur that most arctic wolves have, which makes hunting much harder. A more unknown factor is the ice starts to chip and spike up in certain areas in the process of melting, which can cut and split paw pads of wolves, leading to infection and injury. And obviously, the warmer climate isn't what the wolves are used to, so they must learn to adapt. Mostly, that is for arctic wolves, other wolves have a different situation.
How does global warming affect gray wolves?
Global warming can impact gray wolves by altering their habitat and food sources. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can shift the distribution of prey species, affecting the wolves' hunting success. Additionally, warmer temperatures can increase the prevalence of diseases that affect wolves, ultimately threatening their populations.
Are gray wolfes affected by global warming?
Some of the wildlife species hardest hit so far by global warming include caribou (reindeer), arctic foxes, toads, polar bears, penguins, gray wolves, tree swallows, painted turtles and salmon. The group fears that unless we take decisive steps to reverse global warming, more and more species will join the list of wildlife populations pushed to the brink of extinction by a changing climate.

How does global warming effect the Canada lynx?
Canadian lynx have been exploited for furs since the seventeenth century. With restrictions on trade in furs of large cats in the 1960's and '70's, and subsequent reduction of ocelot and margay populations by fur trappers, increased attention has been focused on the pelts of Canadian lynx.
