Global Warming Wildlife Survival Bill in the Works?
The whole ruckus caused about by the global warming issues has been so far concentrating on the effects that continuous disregard for the environmental safety of our planet and not really on the inhabitants and creatures that may be eventually wiped out if the whole thing is not given proper attention.
Wildlife and plants are among the natural resources that will be hit hard. To help address this issue, getting serious and identifying them as one of the in peril resources is the main focus of this bill that is being cooked up.
“As the waters of Narragansett Bay grow warmer, cold-water fish species with high commercial value, like winter flounder, have been replaced by warmer-water species, like scup, whose value to our fishermen is lower,” Whitehouse said. “Melting sea ice in Greenland is pushing polar bears closer to inhabited villages in search of food.”
“As we work to mitigate the causes of global warming, we must also take urgent action to address its effects on wildlife, oceans, and other natural systems on which we all depend,” he said.

I agree with the comment. Study of global warming at a micro level -that of a specific wildlife species for example, will probably show new dimensions which are important to man as well.
