Most of the ice in Antarctica is on land. It is not the one-metre-thick ice of the Arctic that Polar Bears need for the hunting habitat. There are seals in Antarctica, and also penguins, though both of these are much faster in the water than polar bears. They would have to adapt to a different style of hunting, and this might not be possible.

Why are the polar bears on the threatened species list due to global warming?

Since it is getting hotter much of the ice is melting away which results in the loss of habitat. Global warming is also affecting other species that the polar bears eat and need to survive.

If global warming continues which biomes will likely take the place of the coniferous forest taiga?

If global warming continues, it is possible that temperate forests or even grasslands may replace the coniferous forest taiga biome. As temperatures increase, the conditions that support coniferous forests may shift, leading to changes in vegetation types. These shifts can have significant impacts on the species that inhabit these regions and their ecosystems.

Is the global warming starting now?

Global warming continues to occur, as evidenced by the fact our polar ice caps are melting, and of course by global temperature records.


How do endangered species affect global warming?

Endangered species play a role in mitigating global warming through natural processes. For example, forests inhabited by endangered species absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, certain endangered species may help maintain the balance of ecosystems, which in turn support carbon sequestration. Preserving endangered species is crucial in sustaining these processes and combating global warming.


Will the earth stop turning if global warming continues?

NO, the revolution of the Earth is not impacted by climate change.


Is global warming a cause of the loss of biodiversity?

Yes, it has caused (in the past) some more cold-reliant species to die. But, it has also cause some new species (like insects) to come up in the past as well. So some of both. *(Note: This is millions of years ago, NOT the current global warming.)
