Global warming is progressive gradual rise of the Earth's average surface temperature due to increased concentrations of GHGs in the atmosphere. Its interference in natures laws, so certainly will have bad effect on living beings. Melting of ice caps, permafrost, and the overall warming of the world r some of the major problems. Melting of icepacks affect many animal species rely on for shelter and/or hunting grounds. The loss of these icepacks causes a loss of subsistence food that the natives rely on for their main food source. Some other affects according to scientists r, birds are laying eggs earlier than usual, plants are flowering earlier and mammals are breaking hibernation sooner.
