Summary Response #1

According to Hirsch, (2005), in his article “Animals ‘hit by global warming,” he shows us the reason of extinction of animals. First, the weather change affects the animal’s life. Second, the warming weather led to death of animals. Third, sea level rise destroys beach-nesting sites of sea turtles. Fourth, change of the atmosphere and deserts can make the birds travel from one place to another difficult. However, there is another kind of animals that can adapt to those problems. Finally, the people need to find a solution for this problem.

It is apparent that the author’s opinion is right in this article. Because hundreds of animals have become extinct in the world, this problem is created . I like this article and I agree with the writer because he mentions the effect of the global warming on the animals. And he writes different examples for these problems, such as weather changing and sea level rising.

First, the weather changing makes a big problem in the animal’s life at this time. Every animal needs a different kind of environment to live in. Some of them need the cold weather and others need warm weather. But now the problem is the animals that need the cold weather, because the global warming affects the cold area and melts the ice and that follows the animals to the end. For example, there are thousands of beers that are extinct from this reason. In “ Animals ‘hit by global warming” the author states, “ Polar bears and seals whose habitat is disappearing rapidly with the melting of Arctic sea ice” (2005, p.2). It means this is really a problem for the animals. In conclusion, we need to find solution for this problem of warming.

Second, sea level rise is one of the biggest problems that happen every time for the animals. And this problem comes from many reasons, but one of these reasons is the melting of the ice in the south and north poles. There are many animals that have difficulty in reproduction from this problem, because the sea level affects the nesting sites and this leads to the extinction of the animals. In “Animals ‘hit by global warming” the author states, “Sea level rise destroying beach nesting sites for sea turtles” (2005,p.2). That means the sea level is dangerous for the animals’ life. Therefore, we have to find a solution for both poles or to find another place for these animals nesting sites.

In conclusion, the global warming will affect animals lives and in the future will affect our life. For this reason we need to work, all of as is, not only a few countries but also all the world, together to find the solution. Because now we have lost different kinds of animals in the world, such as polar bears, and this is only one example but in realty we have a lot of examples. All the governments needs to work very hard to fix this problem.
