Brown bear are moving into polar bear territory and competing for food.
Heat kill krill. 90% of marine life eat krill. The ocean fisheries will collapse. Sea birds will go. Seal. Penguin. Otter. Salmon. Trout. Sport fishing. Frogs. Salamander. Saguaro cactus. .................
Louisiana loses a football field worth of land every 45-minutes.The people of Iles de Jean Charles are America's first continental climate refugees.
