British Butterfly Evolving

Summary: As global temperatures rise and climatic zones go polewards, species need to move to different locations to prevent extinction. A research published November 30, 2011 revealed that climate change is causing species to move and adapt to new habitats. With the climate change, species are moving towards North U.K, however lots of species are getting stuck in unfamiliar areas trying to rest and find food. One species called the Brown Argus butterfly, are successfully expanding and distributing into North U.K. areas. More species are succeeding and others are failing.

Critique: I hope none of the United States' beauties migrate.

Impact: The ecosystem and food chains may get screwed up!
