Global warming will not only effect humans, but also plants and animals.  For example, the salmon.  Photo plankton, a small water plant that herrings eat, will grow much earlier in the year if Global Warming continues. The herring, who eat photo plankton would not have as much food, because the photo plankton would grow and die earlier and faster in the year. Leaving almost no food at all for the herring to eat and their new born.

   Once there isn't enough food for the herring, most of them die. Which is very bad news for the salmon, because herring is their main food source, meaning the salmon would die. How would you like to hear the famous BC coast salmons are dying?  The BC coast salmon will most likely die because of Global Warming, making plants grow earlier in the year, but not living animals.

Global warming will also effect the bees.  Due to global warming, spring will come earlier in the year so the flowers will bloom and die earlier.  The bees who eat the pollen from flowers will come out at the usual time and there will be no pollen for them.  That would also mean no honey for us.
