Climate change is a very interesting topic. Many have there own opinions about weather or not the world is actually facing climate change or not and what is causing it. Some say that we as humans are to blame for this. Others say it strictly deals with the environment and the earth. The only people who really know what they are talking about are the scientists. So all the other people just end up stating their opinion. This means nothing. So the question still stands is climate change really happening? Yes, there are signs of it all though out the world.
Most animals adapt extremely well to there surroundings. It's been shown throughout history. But even though they can adapt it often takes long periods of time for them to adapt enough. Because of this many of the species die off eventually. In this case, with the temperatures changing and environments changing around the animals, would there be enough time and change since that is what evolution is?

Scientists have found that some species are particularly better at adapting to their new environment then they had once thought. These animals have the choice to move to some where cooler, stay and adapt as individuals to the new climate, or even adapt as a species by evolving. It is clear to many that many animals and plants are moving. Many butterflies live higher up in the mountains, and trees are moving further north in North America and Europe.

So really many animals are just finding it easier to move away to a cooler climate then stay and evolve in their normal habitat. This isn't all that bad either except that they can die while on their journey to a cooler climate. Many people think that they will be fine just by letting them go on there own. While this is true for the most part, many other ones need help getting from where they are to where they need to be.
