WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS ON THE ANIMAL KINGDOM?:
A change in climate is a change for the world and effects more than just the human race. When the environment in any location is changed the residents that live there have to aclimate to the change. What if they can't change fast enough. Then they start to suffer. Is that what is happening to the animals around the world today? Are they being effected fast enough that they can't aclimate to that change. Let's take a look. Remember, there are many other animals being effected, but polar bears are a great indicator since they were just added to the endangered species list in the United States.
Carbon Cycle


Right now there are conflicting reports on most animals that should be effected by Global Warming. Take for example the Polar Bears, some reports say that the Polar Bears are decreasing and need to be protected. The organization of Polar Bear International report that numbers that have been tracked, (remember that it is almost impossible to take a cencus on animals like the polar bear) and modeled that the number of polar bears alive today in Hudson Bay, Southern Beaufort, Baffin Bay, and other areas have been declining by around 22% since the early 1980's.

Though in a report put out by the Canadian Government the number of Polar Bears has jumped to 2,100 from 800 in the 1980's. This report was done in Northern Quebec and Southern Baffin Island, these are a small amount of Canadian territories. The World Wildlife Federation has even reported that the Polar Bears are to healthy numbers at this time and that 60% of all Polar Bears live in Canada. In another report by the WWF, polar bears are being effected by Global Warming.

So reports are scattered but reliable sources claim that only those places where environmental groups are counting their numbers are places were they have decreased and in all other areas they have flourished. The other problem found with some organizations that claim numbers are down is that they get their numbers from computer models and not actual exploration. Even the World Wildlife Federation said it would almost be impossible to do a census on the polar bear population. Those who have show an increase in the number of Polar Bears throughout the world.
