The yak or Bos grunniens - population is declining sharply. Yaks are being gradually pushed up the Himalayas, with scientists fearing that the time is not far away when there will be no more "comfort zone" left for it to survive. Only four states in India have yaks - Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
"It's a serious case of impact of climate change and global warming. Farmers are increasingly reporting that their animals are unable to bear the rising temperature in altitudes that were comfort zone for centuries," said K P Ramesha, senior scientist with the National Research Centre on Yak (NRCY), the only centre of its kind in India.
Yaks can live only in altitudes starting from 7000 feet upwards, and while 5-13° Celsius is its thermo-neutral or comfort zone, it is also the only animal that can survive even at minus-40° Celsius. But yak rearers are now moving upwards above 8,000 feet in order to save their animals.

Global warming is connected to other resources through its impact on key ecosystems and natural resources. For example, melting polar ice caps due to global warming can lead to rising sea levels, affecting coastal communities and habitats. Additionally, changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can impact agriculture, water availability, and biodiversity, highlighting the interconnected nature of global warming with other resources.
No, chlorine has no effect on Global Warming.
Global warming can impact sports through extreme weather events like heatwaves and storms, making playing conditions more challenging. It can also lead to changes in seasons, affecting the duration and timing of sporting events. Additionally, rising temperatures can impact athlete health and safety during competitions.
Warmer and more acidic oceans are affecting the food chain of many fish and marine animals, including the clownfish.
They don't help with global warming naturally but the large buildup of greenhouse gases does assist with global warming.
yes it is because yaks cannot adapt the rising temperature of global warming. hence they die or become weak.
