Alejandra Reyes Tyler D. Watson 10 March 2014 Climate Change: Polar Regions and Marine Mammals As a result of climate change, specifically rising temperatures, there have been increased changes in sea ice and sea level in the Polar Regions. The melting ice creates a positive feedback, more rapidly changing the environment for marine mammals such as pinnipeds and cetaceans. Negative health effects of changes in their environment depend on species sensitivity. Because the most obvious effects of climate

(1) On average eighty percent of all feedlot cattle are given hormones to help them grow at an increased rate. (2) “In 1988 the European Union banned the use of all hormone growth promoters.” (1) Today farmers use six anabolic steroids in various combinations. “Those anabolic
