Not boiling over?

Hello world,
Not suprisingly, caribou numbers are suffering because of global warming. What is suprising is that the reason they're dying isn't the heat itself. It's its effect on the weather. Caribou migrate for food, and global warming is making their grass grow too early. This means that all the prime food is gone before the calves can eat it. Also, the rain is drowning the lichens that the reindeer rely on in winter. This is awful, and something needs to be done about it soon. The local people rely on the animals for food, so our want to save them isn't just a want, it's a need.Every one has seen the disaster flick where global warming causes a freak thunderstorm and kills everyone. Between this article and the thunderstorm outside, I feel like building a boat in my basement.
