No, climate change is not happening at the same intensity in all places on earth. The most extreme climates on the earth are experiencing climate change at a much more rapid and damaging rate. This includes deserts, ice caps, rainforests, and tropical zones, among others. These sensitive areas experience the affects of climate change at a much quicker rate than other areas. Rising temperatures causes ice to melt, coral bleaching, ocean desalination, and rising water levels. It also affects animal life (polar bears, penguins, fish, turtles, insects, cetaceans, sharks, etc.) as many creatures are having a hard time adjusting and adapting to rapidly changing temperatures and environments. While vulnerable areas are the most affected now, this will expand to all areas of the world if climate change is not slowed, and hopefully, stopped.
