blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those 
found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not 
possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling 
sea ice but have nowhere farther north to go. 
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated 
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further 
warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some 
species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough 
and may disappear. 
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer 
ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. 
Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and 
death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and 
increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
