In the novel, Oryx and Crake, written by Margaret Atwood, a dystopian society is shown, with a background story explaining how this world came to be. In the novel Atwood shows that through human interference and corruption the world has taken a negative turn and do to the decisions the humans make nature is effected and cannot act the way as it originally has. While this novel is an exaggerated version of our world, it shows that if we keep making the decisions we are making, in areas such as Food and GMOs, Exploitation and Power, and Environmental Impacts, the world we live in can see a very similar fate as the one shown in the novel.

In the article, Climate Change Affects Biodiversity, it explains that climate change in the major culprit of the decreasing number of organisms surviving. It states that climate change is happening so fast the Earth cannot keep up with it and organisms are failing to adapt quick enough to survive. It also states that this could negatively affect us by “a major change in the food chain upon which we depend, water sources may change, recede or disappear, medicines and other resources we rely on may be harder to obtain as the plants and forna they are derived from may reduce or disappear, etc”. The article states that global warming
