I need to get a list for my science project. I need the name of the animals, not how many.
Answer
Modern Animals:
Polar Bears:

They are doing just fine

despite the loss of sea ice in the Arctic.

Penguins:
East Antarctica has cooled, while West Antartica has warmed a little.

and has not lost sea ice.

They are generally unaffected.
Tamiasciurus hudsonicus:
The Yukon Red Squirrels breed earlier due to increased food supply.

Antarctic Birds:
Many breed later in the year due to a colder climate.

Most of the animals who are affected so far live in the Arctic where most of the warming over the last 3 decades has happened, as predicted. The warming has been far less than predicted, and thus, there has not been much effect.
Ancient Animals:
1) The Neanderthals:
It is difficult to say that this species is really extinct, but to the extent that that this species lives on in modern man, it has been changed, and no longer exists as it once was. The new environment stopped favoring pure Neanderthals as the earth warmed, and Africans invaded Europe.
2) The Woolly Mammoth:
It appears that the Woolly Mammoth went extinct as a result of being over hunted. The change was the invention of the atlatl and woomera. These were invented because modern man lacked the upper body strength and the large occipital lobe involved in ballistic calculations that the Neanderthals had. Thus, in order to survive, the invention and deployment of a deadlier weapon was a natural consequence. Despite the National Geographic alarmist propaganda under source, Mammoths survived the global warming only to go extinct less than 4000 years ago.
3) The Giant Sloth:
This animal's great size would not be such an advantage in the warmer climate we enjoy today, but he also would have been a juicy target for modern man armed with woomera.
4) Smilodon:
This animal was a predator who required large prey. Large animals like the Neanderthal, the Woolly Mammoth, and the Giant Sloth are favored by cold weather since the low surface area to volume ration that comes with being big reduces heat loss per unit produced. However, modern man is also known to make war on predators who annoy him. Equipped with the woomera, a tribe of modern man were unlikely to allow roving Smilodon to live.
5) Woolly Rhinoceros:
Global warming may have caused this animal to migrate south, loose its hair, and become smaller, or interbred with other species there. It is not known whether this animal is an ancestor of modern rhinoceros, or whether it went extinct due to over hunting by modern humans who may have come into being thanks to interbreeding between the previous human species thanks to migration due to climate change, or possibly simply due to the fact that such large furry animals who needed grass lands to thrive disappeared along with the European tundra.

Is anyone having a hard time getting their Knockout Roses to bloom this year?

It almost seems as if something is eating at them??!!
Answer
Do you have thrips?
Adult thrips are tiny, slender insects, 1/25 inch long, variously colored pale yellow, black or brown. They have four long narrow wings fringed with long hairs and very short legs. Their chief target is the rose bloom, especially the red, white, yellow, and other light colored varieties. Flower thrips and tobacco thrips attack rosebuds and disfigure petals. They attack buds in their early stages, working among the unfurled petals. The buds become deformed and fail to open properly, while the damaged petals turn brown and dry. New growth also may be damaged in the same way.
Since thrips burrow deep between the petals, early identification and control is important. Set out yellow sticky traps about 4 weeks after last frost as early warning devices. As soon as you spot thrips on the trap, spray rose buds with insecticidal soap or a pyrethrin/pyrethrum insecticide product as directed on their labels. Commercially available predatory mites, lacewings, ladybugs and beneficial nematodes are effective backups to the soap spray. Thrips prefer a dry environment, so make sure plants are adequately watered.
Here is a link that discusses the identification and control of thrips: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7429.html
Do you have leaf skeletonization too?
This could also be an early infestation of Japanese Beetle. They will eat flower petals in addition to the leaf, but not the leaf veins. They love roses and anything in the rose family. Here is a link that discusses Japanese Beetle: http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/bugreview/japanesebeetle.html
Anything with carbryl like Sevin can be used to control Japanese Beetle. Just be careful with carbryl, it is deadly to bees!
