The changing climate has become an ever-increasing topic of debate that is discussed widely in today’s day and age. These changes in global temperature may not seem at all dramatic at the moment; however, the Earth is already beginning to reap devastating results:

• Increased greenhouse emissions have widely contributed to habitat loss for many different species.

Below we will discuss seven different animal species that are directly affected by climate change and how their fates may be forever sealed if they are unable to migrate to more favorable climatic areas.
