Arctic deer live on islands in Canada’s arctic regions. They search for food by moving over ice from island to island during the course of the year. Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants on which they feed and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to cover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it. Unfortunately, according to reports from local hunters, the deer populations are declining. Since these reports coincide with recent global warming trends that have caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the purported decline in deer populations is the result of the deer’s being unable to follow their age-old migration patterns across the frozen sea.

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The article declaimed that the declining Artic deer population was related to the melting sea ice caused by the global warming trends, because they are unable to travel from island to island. However, though this statement is probable and logical, it still needs some other facts to support this conclusion: whether the deer group’s migration behavior is not totally tied to the food support, whether the species’ bodies function can accustom to the hotter environment, or whether the declination is not caused by other facts outside global warming trends. </span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>First, We need more information about the deer’s migration behavior. Based on the current essay, we could not conclude that the declining deer population was related to the inability to migrate over the sea. According to the article, the Artic deer probably migrate for food, since the author states the species’ requirement is somewhere warm enough for plants and cold enough for moving to another area. It is hard to tell whether the deer must travel only because they exhausted all the food in their original habitat or for other reasons. Therefore this becomes a self-contradictory point: since the Arctic deer need somewhere to have enough food, the global warming trends should unfreeze their current habitat area and allow plants to germinate better. Consequently, the deer do not need to migrate since they have enough food to eat locally. Hence, in order to clarify this paradox point, the author needs to provide some extra evidence about the migration pattern, reproducing pattern, or more details on their food resource plant growing temperature. </span>

There can be other reasons that result in the decline of the deer population that is also related to the global warming trends. For example, the reduction in their population was probably caused by their bodies’ maladjustment to the hot weather. Since the Arctic deer used to live in the Arctic circle, their bodies are more accustomed to the severe cold weather than warmer weather, such as having thicker fur than other deer species. Therefore, their body might be malfunctioning due to the increasing global temperature. Moreover, warmer weather also provides a suitable environment for viruses and bacteria to live, which could be one reason for the declining deer groups. Hence, even though global warming trends coincide with the decline of the Arctic deer population, we still cannot conclude that the shrinking population is related to the melting sea ice. In this way, we need to know whether the deer’s body will be abnormal or not in the current temperature.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Additionally, we need more evidence to support the statement that the Arctic deer group decreasing is only related to global warming trends. Since the article author used the word “coincide”, we could not draw a direct conclusion that there are no other reasons that cause the declining deer population. For instance, the increasing human activities, such as hunting, tourism development, and the increasing global pollution, could also cause the shrinking of the Arctic deer groups. We could not exclude that other reasons are the culprit for the deaden deer population. Hence, to improve the article’s statement, the author should make sure that other factor of the habitat environment does not change except the melting ocean caused by global warming.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>In conclusion, though the article has a compelling argument that the declining Arctic deer population is related to the inability to travel across the island, which is caused by the global warming trend and the melting ocean water, it still needs more facts to enhance its statement. </span>
