Climate change, contrary to popular belief, is not only global warming. Yes, the Earth is becoming warmer than it has ever been, but places like Texas are experiencing colder weather during the winter as well. This winter, Texas got hit with a giant snowstorm and Texans didn't know how to respond, since most natives have never even seen snow before. If climate change continues, animals and plants that thrive in warmer climates may be driven out of their habitats, and some may even go extinct. With global warming, we may also see the oceans begin to see an increase in temperature, which may begin to affect animals living in our oceans. Also, our polar ice caps are also beginning to melt, which is driving polar bears and penguins out of their habitats and may even lead to extinction of both species. If we don't begin to prioritize climate change, animals and plants may begin to disappear.
