What's Affected by Climate Change?

Climate change is controversial.  Scientists are certain the climate is getting warmer due to increase CO2. Many animal species, such as penguins are threatened by the changes.  Another article says that one species loss is another's gain, i.e. deer, elk and caribou benefit because they can get away from predators.  I wonder what other opportunities will we face from warming?  What kind of weather shifts will challenge us?  Over 1000 people died in Europe from a cold winter this year.  One important step is the willingness to listen to others with a different point of view. How can we be open to shift our feelings and thoughts, through genuine conversation? I'm working on Deep Democracy Institute-Portland Oregon's Open Forum on Climate Change today.  What are your questions about climate change?
