Global Warming Global Warming

Global Warming is the single biggest threat to wildlife today.

Global warming is happening faster than predicted even several years ago, with many natural systems already seriously impacted.

Overwhelming scientific evidence supports reducing carbon pollution that causes global warming as much as possible and as quickly as possible.

National Wildlife Federation works to reach that goal by demanding climate change legislation that includes a cap-and-trade system and dedicated funding to address the impacts of global warming on America's natural resources. Visit the Climate Action Center today or read our report Investing in America's Natural Resources.

Wildlife and global warming Help wildlife survive global warming
In its 2007 report, the International Panel on Climate Change stated that 20-30% of species worldwide are likely to be at increased risk of extinction if increases in average global temperatures exceed 2.2-4.0° F above current levels. This could happen by the end of the century if global warming pollution is not dramatically reduced.
