Animals and plants are struggling to adapt to new conditions created by climate change. Many life-forms are forced to move or change their behaviors in order to survive as their habitats shift. The species that will struggle most will be the ones that are very specific in what they eat or where they live, especially if their habitats are eliminated. Climate swings have occurred in the past, but the changes have taken a thousand times longer than the current human-made climate change.

To hide from predators, this North American rabbit has evolved to turn white in winter to blend in with the snow. Snow in some areas is melting earlier due to climate change, leaving stark white hares exposed to predators. Tip to slow global warming: Plant trees! Trees are great for pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere and releasing oxygen in its place. One tree can absorb a ton of carbon dioxide during its life. The tree with also provide a sense of shelter, shade, and heat protection naturally.

Congratulations on another great art show. You should all be very proud.
