We can't tell exactly, or even on average, how many. Animals are killed because of global warming all the time, but it is not something that is exactly measurable unless we were to track every living animal on earth.

  • Global warming screws up migratory patterns, and can cause animals to stop hibernating early (they can die).
  • It also destroys habitats (think polar bears and snowy terrain) and can cause extreme weather because hotter air can hold more moisture, causing droughts and floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, you name it. In fact, Hurricane Katrina can be directly related to global warming. As with the 2003 heat waves in Europe.
  • Also, parasites and invasive species can destroy animals habitats because they can thrive in warmer weather. Mosquitos have recently been found at altitudes in the mountains were they had previously been unable to go to because of the cold. This means malaria and other diseases can spread even easier.
  • Global warming means people and animals are dying daily.
