young grounds suggesting a major turn of events in the war on Christmas was presented Monday at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union — the world ’s Greenland caribou universe is decline , speedily .
The world ’s largest reindeer herd — who live on the northernmost point of Russia on the Taimyr Peninsula — has lessen by 40 % since 2000 . Why ? Because of rise temperatures , why of course . Along with human activeness , climate alteration has affected reindeer migration pattern . Andrey Petrov , the Arctic Center at the University of Northern Iowa , said , “ There is a substantial decline – and we are also seeing this with other gaga reindeer decline rapidly in other parts of the populace . ”
In 2000 , there were one million reindeer on the Taimyr Peninsula . Now research suggests there are around 600,000 . Petrov emphasize , “ clime variety is at least one of the variable . ”
The increment in industrial development has affected the reindeer of the Taimyr Peninsula , who have begin migrate east to avoid mankind .
But researchers find that the reindeer had also shifted north to find cooler grounds and bunk mosquito , which are becoming more unglamorous as the neighborhood warms . “ We know in the last two ten that we have had an increase in temperature of about 1.5C overall . And that in spades touch on migration patterns , ” Petrov said .
“ Reindeer are enormously of import for biodiversity – they are part of the Arctic intellectual nourishment range of mountains and without them other species would be in hassle , ” the scientist warned .
It seems pretty wide-eyed to me — if you ’re a solider of Christmas , you must fight against climate change to prevail . We must stop climate change , so Christmas can outlast .
