because you have it on automatic pilot, and with its hi-tech computers and cameras, your car “knows” how to get

home safe and sound What is for lunch? In the old days you used to stop off to buy a hamburger or a pizza Now you use your diagnostic machine to find out which foods your body needs If your body needs more vegetables and less fat, your food-preparation machine makes you a salad

After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office Here you have everything you need to do your work Thanks to your information screen and your latest generation computer, you needn’t go to the office any more The

earlier In the spring Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures

With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm In many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts Species that find cities or farmland 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 spices could be committed to extinction with 2 or 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 addition 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

D the sea level would rise by 20 centimeters

C pretty hard D easily damaged
