Global warming

Migration of animals has been a serious situation. The effects from Global Warming are messing with animals and their habitats which can cause animals to be off during migration. Studies shown that in the future changes will happen to foraging microhabitat. A selection of these animals could become climate change sensitive species, for example high-alpine birds. Most of the habitat selection that was studied was affected by grassland cover.

An issue at the footnote of global warming is ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is an issue today regarding the rising amounts of acidity in both surface and deeper waters that threaten biological and biogeochemical processes.The role of the ocean is a major role in climate regulation, yet ocean acidification is not looked at as a big deal when it comes to global warming. It alters marine ecosystems which can destroy a wide array of marine ecosystem services. There is no policy, international or nationally, to help with ocean acidification. Although it is a global issue, ocean acidification will have no effects along coastlines or in coral reefs.Some people think that ocean acidification can be dealt with through UNFCCC. This is thought because both climate changes and ocean acidification both increase CO2 in the atmosphere, but some do not agree.There are multiple reasons why nothing has been done on a bigger stage regarding ocean acidification, such as the fact that it is not well understood scientifically. Also the impacts may be felt locally while but the problem is a global issue and can not be dealt with easily. Combine these and it makes that no one really wants to act on the matter.

Human Impact on the Enviorment

The population rate is up by 1.2%, the population is 7 billion now and is expected to be 14 billion by 2060. There is a prediction that if the population keeps increasing we will start having major shortage problems with natural gas and food.66% of the world is already malnourished, people are mostly malnourished in country's where the population is growing very rapidly. Oil reserves are being overproduced from the great need of natural gas and we could see the disappearance of coal and oil.

Overpopulation is a growing issue among many people, at a growing rate of 1.2%, the population is projected to double to 14 billion people in 60 years. It is believed that the earths carrying capacity is going to be around 14 billion people because of the foot shortages most of the world's population is already experiencing. More than 66% of the world's population is malnourished or starving according the World Health Organization. In 1950 only 20% of the world's population was recorded as malnourished or starving, the percentage has more than tripled, which is alarming. Natural resources that are becoming critically low due to over harvesting are; oil, natural gas, and coal, once these resources run out the earth's population could drop from 14 billion to 2 billion. It is important that humans start recycling and reducing the amount of natural resources, in doing this we can hopefully prolong the quality and sustainability of life on earth.
