Answer:
Explanation:
Global warming and climate change have already had a detrimental effect on flora and fauna. Everything on planet Earth is interconnected, and when one thing is changed, it alters everything else.
This is known as the butterfly effect, and it is seen everyday. Like humans, plants and animals need certain conditions to be comfortable and productive. If the thermostat at your office is set too low, you get cold and cannot work as well. The same thing happens with plants and animals.
If it is too warm or too cold, they cannot reproduce at the same rate. When plants slow down there growth, the are not replenished rapidly enough to support all of the animals which usually feed off of them. Fewer plants means that that area can support fewer plant eating animals. Less plant eaters leads to a decrease in the number of predatory animals. By affecting the way trees grow, the entire food chain is thrown off balance
