This might not seem like much but for many creatures like birds, insects, animals and plants and trees and fish, this change in temperature was already likely fatal or extincted them. So, even though we can turn our air conditioners on or heaters on most life that lives in the wild cannot. So, when things change some creatures do better and others die and some die out completely in the flora and fauna kingdom here on earth.
