The world's biodiversity is constantly being threatened by warming temperatures and extreme changes in climate and weather patterns.
And while that "doom and gloom" is the typical discourse surrounding how climate change is affecting biodiversity, another interesting aspect of the warming temperatures is how different species have been adapting over the decades, as the warming progresses, experts say.
Here are some unusual ways climate change is affecting nature:
Higher temperature extremes may increase the risk of outbreaks of tuberculosis in Kalahari meerkats by increasing physiological stress, as well as the movement of males between group, according to a study published in Nature Monday.
Albatrosses, a monogamous species famous for mating for life, are seeing higher "divorce" rates as temperatures warm, a study published in the Royal Society Journal in November found.
Polar bear populations were found to have up to a 10% loss in genetic diversity over a 20-year period as a result of inbreeding due to habitat fragmentation, a recent study published in Royal Society Journals in September found.
Researchers who monitored gray seals in the U.K.'s Skomer Marine Conservation Zone for three decades found that climate change has caused older seal mothers to give birth to pups earlier.
Birds in undisturbed areas of the Amazon rainforest, the largest in the world, are experiencing physical changes to dryer, hotter climates, according to research published in Science Advances in November.

Life sucks! - T. Rex, et al.
No kidding. When my daughter was in 5th grade, she brought home a guinea pig from school. Found out later, the gp was pregnant, had babies. We kept a couple, gave away the rest. Before long, she had more babies...lol.
This type of hysteria gives into the “correlation means causation” wing of the junk science purveyors. Superstition, pure and simple.
It’s the same type of flawed reasoning that makes people wear completely ineffective masks during a pandemic in the hopes the virus will pass them over as a reward for their virtue signaling. .
“ So lefties don’t believe in evolution anymore?”
No, they don’t. They have their fantasy vision of the world. They believe their vision is perfect. And that is how the world must remain for all time. It is actually kind of insane.
I predict the US will go bankrupt due to debt before Obama’s house is flooded.
Thanks RACPE.
Earth is 4.5 BILLION years old. During that time, it has climate changes galore. Global warming followed by ice age. Rinse and repeat. It is because the Sun is like MILLION times bigger than earth, and has cycles of activity. It is the sole source of external heat for earth.
And then humans are a million times SMALLER than earth. The astronauts circling earth at just over 100 miles high can’t see any man made objects during daytime.
What caused end of last ice age? Global warming! Were there any SUV’s or factory smoke-stacks or fire-places at that time? NO! Humans were still living in caves.
The same “experts” pushing the globull warming HOAX are the same “experts” pushing the covid-1984 HOAX.
About 1000 years ago, the Vikings sailed west and discovered a large island that was warm, lush and green.
They named it “Greenland”...which is now mostly ice covered.
CONCLUSION:
1. The SUV was in Greenland before the Vikings landed.
2, This is settled science.
I didn’t think the false claims about climate change could get any more asinine... I was clearly wrong
Ever notice how science summaries such as this are full of government or globalist propaganda? Of course you have!
Most wild animal species are barely studied. You might be able to fill a book on a particular species, but very few of today’s scientists will test a lot of the ‘facts’ in those books and so they get baked into the cake of that body of knowledge. Things like certain “bird species mating for life” seems more of an assertion, that a provable fact. It may be mostly true, but there have to be exceptions. Maybe with modern tracking devices we are more likely to find those exceptional cases?
Yes they do and even more.
Inbreeding in animals has been naturally going on since life began. In farming it is known as “Inline” breeding.
As for penguins, I believe killer whales and sharks chowing down on penguins probably have more to do with the penguin “divorce” rate than glo-Bull Warming.
When government starts handing out billions of dollars to “study” climate change, hogs flock to the trough.
What, exactly, is the ideal temperature of the earth?
You forgot to post Goebbels picture.
Are the polar bears converting to Islam? That might explain their behavior.
Higher temperature extremes may increase the risk of outbreaks of tuberculosis.
So does a open border Biden bows.
And causes warts.
