Snowdonia

As I have continued to browse through articles about rainforests, I have come across Snowdonia. According to environmental experts, global warming is going to have a direct effect on Snowdonia. This raises many concerns because there are species of plants that reside there that are not found anywhere else in the world. The Meirionydd oakwoods rainforest is very special to this region and the dry summers that will come from global warming will be devastating to this species. Also, the Snowdon Lily is going to be threatened by the warming temperatures. The Snowdon Lily was something that came from the Ice Age, and it is sad that that this new phenomenon, global warming, is going to take it away.
Global warming "...threatens some of the most iconic plant life and natural attractions of North West Wales.” When hearing this or reading this one may not feel directly affected, but we never know what the effects could be to us. What can all of this do to the stability of the Earth? I guess we can only assume what can happen, but we have to realize that if we do not start caring about these problems, we will find out the effects through experience.
