-By 2050 Polar Bears will be extinct due to drowing because the most of the polar ice caps would have melted. |

Researchers for the U.S. Geological Survey have concluded that even a small increase in temperatures in Hawaii's forests will eliminate much of the mosquito-free safe zone that once existed for Kauai's birds."(read this).
