Global warming is mainly caused due to the burning of fossil fuels and is predicted to push those species termed as endangered into extinction.

Endangered Species Act: Industrialization's toll

Article Abstract:

Industrialization was a major reason for the destruction of wildlife and forests. A 1962 bestseller which was about the dangers of pesticide misuse, stimulated movements such as the Clean Water Act (1977), the Clean Air Act amendments (1970) and the Superfund law (1980) to protect threatened species.
