Defenders' Experts
Global Warming
There is no remaining scientific debate: humans are causing global warming and it is past time that we do something about it.
Defenders supports a national strategy for combating global warming which consists of two parts.
- First, we must take immediate steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to address the root cause of climate change.
- Second, we must also craft responses and mechanisms now to help wildlife navigate the looming bottleneck of complex threats caused by global warming.
Wildlife and Ecosystems in a Warming World

It provides a roadmap for how the next administration can help America’s wildlife and ecosystems survive the impacts of global warming.
