      Does cope in this situation means that animals have to suffer from a climate changed that they never experienced before? For example polar bear would trying to survive with hot weather?

  • adapt to higher temperatures
  • Los Angeles will see permanent changes to its climate by 2048.
  • curb emissions
  • Washington's climate will change radically by 2047
  • The shift to consistently warmer temperatures poses a considerable threat to thousands of plant and animal species that will have to move, adapt or face extinction, experts warn.

      I wonder if we do have enough time. What would happen to the world after?
  • tropics would be first to experience unprecedented temperature changes surprised scientists who weren't involved in the research.
  • 344,000 species around the world. Some are better equipped than others to adapt to new climate conditions.
