rising and the rate of temperature increase has nearly doubled in the last 50 years. Many species are experiencing changes in their patterns of growth and migration due to the changing conditions of the environment. Such changes often result in population reduction. The scientists who monitor the environment have discovered that many places around the world have broken their high temperature records for average annual surface temperature. Scientists have also discovered other global changes: glaciers
