4. The temperature rise caused by global warming has affected many species of animals in the arctic. By the rate of rapid melting in the Arctic, some have estimated that the region could be completely ice free by 2040.

6. What changed in the United States with Hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences.~ Al Gore

7.

8. A report, based on the work of some 2,500 scientists in more than 130 countries, concluded that humans have caused all or most of the current planetary warming. Human-caused global warming is often called anthropogenic climate change.

9. More than a million species face extinction from disappearing habitat, changing ecosystems, and acidifying oceans.
