One of the sea animals which are at risk due to global warming is the Pteropod. These tiny marine snails are the size of lentils and as marine invertebrates deal with increasing acidity, the larvae have to re-tune their metabolism in order to make a shell. It is possible, that these marine snails will lose their shell by 2050. The problem is, if we lose these organisms the impact on the food chain will be catastrophic.

Why is it important for a species to be able to change?
its important for a species to be able to change because, the planet is changing too, so if animals don't change then they a high risk of becoming extinct. everyone knows what a mammoth is right. mammoths changed into elephants because of global warming, god knew they wouldn't survive. i hope that helped.
What is the meaning of vulnerable animals?
Animals that are in danger. Animals that may be at risk of extinction. Animals that could be prone to a disease that is rampant.
What does it mean if animals are At risk?
What this means is that the animal is at risk of becoming endangered or extinct.
Can the sun harm an albino animal?
Yes. Albino animals are at an increased risk of skin cancer.
Why did they send animals into space instead of people?
It was because space at the time was an unknown as were the effects on life. Animals were used rather than risk the lives of people.
What cities are likely to be gone from global warming?
Global warming will not take out any cities, but those at risk are most likely coastal cities.
Will global warming increase the risk of third degree burns?
No.
What is increasing the risks of hurricanes?
Global warming increases the risk of hurricanes.
From what are polar bears at risk?
loss of ice due to global warming
Which is one result of global warming?
Global warming has caused the ice caps to melt increasing the risk of flooding, especially in places like Venice, Italy.
Why are snow petrels at risk?
I think they are a risk because of global warming/ice caps melting. (i think)
What is the risk we are facing due to global warming?
THE END OF THE WORLD.Due to global warming the end of the world will come, as a theory scientists made.The human population could die out.
What will the inuit do when global warming occurs?
The people and countries most at risk initially from global warming are the hot countries, particularly the developing countries in Africa. They are already suffering from drought and famine. The Inuit will be able to cope with warmer weather as their lands are very cold.
Is there any evidence of the antarctica being at risk?
of course there is!! antarctica is the most under threat from things like global warming, tourists, mining and overfishing.
What is increasing the risk of global warming?
the risk of global warming is being increased by the overpopulation.Reason why i am saying this is because the overpopulation leads to the deforestation which in turns causes the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas) because trees that could have absorbed it have been cut off.
How will global warming personally affect you?
Global warming is already raising sea levels. Many coastal areas are going to flood. We will have to abandon many towns and cities. Fragile people are especially at risk from heat waves.
How are animals hurt by global warming?
Animals have evolved to live in certain areas with certain weather patterns. Global warming shifts the weather patterns which then changes what resources are available to the animals. For instance, there are animals that have evolved to live in the estuaries, where rivers empty into the oceans. The salt level in the estuary is mid-range between the fresh water of the river and the salt water of the ocean. Global warming can shift how much fresh water is coming down the river, which then changes the salt concentration in the estuary. If the salt concentration changes too much, the animals living in the estuary can go extinct.
