As David Attenborough, a naturalist, said, "There is no question that climate change is happening; the only arguable point is what parts human are playing in it.  What he said can set off the alarm bell for human. Climate change really effect not only human life but also the environment. Now people realize that it is the time for them to deal with the problem. It is not too late. But before people take action they need to know what has been changed by it. According to research, climate change effects the insect distribution, the sea level, and the living condition for human beings. In Australia, Johanners Overgaard, Michael R. Kearney and Ary A. Hoffmann did an experiment to prove that the extreme temperature is the main factor which determines the distribution of the tropical and temperate species. This is a good study to find out how climate change effect insect distribution. Their group tested 10 fruit species of the genus Drosophila. These are adapted to tropical and temperate regions of Australia. The team was trying to find out the optimum temperate for species. And then they found the boundries for their tolerance of hot and temperate. So after doing some preparations of this experiment, they began to compare the species distribution in Australia. After that, to see whether the temperate plays a large role of effecting the fruit fly species of genus Drosophila. In the meantime, they compared the information they got to the record that recorded in the country and contrast the data. Finally, they conclude that - Climate change will result in fewer cold days and nights, and thus allow species to move toward higher latitudes. However, climate change also leads to a higher incidence to extremely hot days and our model therefore predicts that the distribution of these species will be reduced to less than half their present distribution. ("Climate Change Effect Insect Distribution). In this experiment, people can notice that the climate change actually effects the insect distribution. At first, the climate change means the temperature grows higher, which made the insects towards higher latitudes. What could happen is this kind species will be reduced to less than half their present distribution. As an organic whole, the earth is not only uninterrupted motion and change but also continual evolution. So climate change can effect insect distribution and one day it must effect human life. This is the case. The climate change actually effect people living condition. In the TV program" Winter storms spur climate change debate once , during this argument , Mrcrory was trying to explain that what going to happen is because of the climate change. In 2008, he worried about cleaning up the environment and not becoming enmeshed in the global warming debate because "it is in God's hands.  What they talked about is the climate change actually happened and how human activities related to the climate change. Recently, the spate of severe winter weather gippi
