What do you think will happen to Australia if global warming continues?
Some effects of global warming are:

- we’ll get hotter summers, which are already very hot in Australia, that could cause bushfires like the ones that happened across Victoria recently, and also droughts
- we’ll have more extreme weather such as flooding & storms
- the timing of the seasons will be different so food sources and habitats are not ready for animals to live & eat in
- In Australia if temperatures rise more than 3 degrees all the snow will melt which will be terrible for many animals, especially those that live on top of mountains and in restricted areas such as islands.
- Because of global warming some animals are forced to migrate from their habitats which is not always possible as humans have cleared areas and built barriers, which prevent them from getting past. 


Doesn’t seem too good does it? We created the ArtAptation Project as project to look at creative ways we, and the animals affected by global warming, can survive if this natural shift in weather were to continue down this path.
