U.N. Climate Change Report Warns Of Mass Animal Extinctions

The report predicts tens of thousands of species of animals could go extinct by 2035 due to warming temperatures and rising sea levels.

One of the biggest concerns highlighted in the United Nation's recent climate report was the risk of mass extinction of animals. One of the animals most at risk — polar bears.

The report predicts if we meet our goal — keeping global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius — then 14% of species on the planet will go extinct.

Predictions gradually get worse if we miss that goal. At two degrees Celsius, animals like polar bears, penguins and seals will be at serious threat of extinction.
