State the effect of global warming on flora and fauna of the earth.

Plants and animals react to warmer temperatures by moving to higher elevations and latitudes. Species loss and endangerment is rising along with global temperatures. As many as 30 per cent of plants and animals today risk extinction by 2050, if average temperatures rise by 6.4°C then 18% of all insect species would be lost by 2100. Such extinctions will be due to loss of habitat through desertification, deforestation, ocean warming and global warming.
