How does global warming affect the environment?

Global warming can affect the environment by causing polar ice caps to melt and therefore animals such as penguins or polar bears would eventually become extinct and excessive water due to all that melting would cause floods or an excessive amount of water.

It can lead to melting ice caps, and the death of many species of animals

Humid continental climate is found in the interior of continents between the 30 and 60 degrees latitude, but usually above the 40 degree line.   40 degrees north of the equator means less direct sunlight and therefore less warmth.   this climate is mainly found in the northern hemisphere since there are no major landmasses in the southern hemisphere.  if you live in northern indiana, you know all about humid continental because that is the climate type you have!
