      R - Reminds me of how humans are surviving, we're doing things that cause even more global warming and we don't really regret it until we've lost it.

      I think there will be more plant species that will adapt to the heat.

      ! - They can't really stop it from happening? Only slowing the rate down?

      ? - If this keeps on going on, will there be snow in the future?

      * - I wonder if those animals had ancestors that lived in hot and humid temperatures before. If they did, would it help them adapt?
  • Conditions in the tropics stay in a narrower range than in other places on the planet,
  • extra 31 years to adapt
  • change would be delayed until 2071.
