Response #20 Half of All Wildlife Could Disappear from the Amazon, Galapagos and Madagascar

Link to Article

This article doesn't surprise me. If there aren't any stronger methods in trying to improve and trying to slow down or stop rising global temperatures, many species of animals and life would die. People often forget that many animals depend on specific climate and temperature. Even people cannot handle temperature difference, but have difficulty seeing the bigger picture and the consequence of actions of humanity as a whole.

As someone who sticks their finger outside and claims climate change is a fake because it was cold outside, it's essential to make people see the big picture, but also see it in a human scale. Due to a lot of people thinking that the rising temperatures are natural part of the Earth's cooling and heating cycle, but people need to know the potential consequences of such a state effecting people, and how we could attempt to prevent from adding to the statistic with our actions. The facts do tell a story, and it's something to listen to, despite doubts.

Especially since it's causing lots of life to die out, and it's not helping in conservation efforts. It's a complicated issue that has no simple answer, as if you take too many steps back, it seems inevitable and unchangeable, while when too close, it seems as rising global temperature doesn't seem actually true. It's an odd situation looking at how people think as well, and honestly I can't really think of a good answer. Ideally, it would be for people to be more aware of the issue, but as people are more leaning to believing the easier answers, it's harder to convince them of the tough gritty truths.
