<human>:  How does climate change impact animal populations?
<bot>: Climate change affects animal populations in many ways. Warmer temperatures can lead to shifts in habitat ranges, changes in food sources, and altered patterns of movement. This can cause stress on animal populations, leading to decreased growth and health, as well as lower reproductive rates. Climate change can also increase the chances of disease outbreak, creating additional strain on animal populations. Additionally, the increased severity and frequency of extreme weather events associated with climate change can have devastating impacts on both individual species and entire ecosystems, leading to local extinctions in some cases.
