According to the Endangered Species Act,an endangered species is an animal that is likely to face extinction in its natural habitat.__26__The ESA defines a threatened species as one that is likely to become“endangered”intheforeseeablefuture.The polar bear is the first animal that has been classified as endangered due primarily to globalwarming.__27__Heating homes,driving cars,and burning garbage all require fossil fuels that lead toglobal warming.The polar bear's habitat is more vulnerable to global warming than many other species. Polar bears live mainly on the sea ice in the Arctic.__28__When the ice melts many polar bears move to land and live off their stored fat.In the Arctic,global warming is causing the ice to melt slightly earlier and form slightly later. This results in a shorter feeding season for the polar bear. Some risk their livesto find ice.If they have to swim too far they will drown from exhaustion and hunger.__29__Every species of plant,animal,and insect there is threatened by global warming.
