Part II. Read the passage and answer the questions. Write your answers in the
boxes provided. (2,0 points)
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of
global warming, Scientists have already observerd shifts in the lifecycles of many plants
and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring.
Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due
to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up
mountainsides toward higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges,
seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In many places, however, human
development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their
way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as
those found in polar and mountantop regions, are especially at risk because migration to
new habitats is not possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic
are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere farther to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some
scientists have estimated that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extiction
with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of warming, not just the
magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire
ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, many not be able to adjust quickly enough
and may disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by
global warming. Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if
prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius
degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs
around the world. Also increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and
increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification furter stresses ocean ecosystems.
