It's not the warming but the speed in which it is happening that is the problem. Plants and animals have adapted over thousands of years to the specific climate they live in. For example; if you have ever had a reptile or fish as pets, you know that you must keep their enclosures at a specific temperature. too hot or too cold and they will die. Two degrees raise causes glacial ice that has been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years to melt. This water that was not previously in the oceans causes the sea levels to rise. Rising sea levels cause many low lying areas to be underwater. Temperature flux causes the currents in the ocean to shift. It causes storms to gather intensity and be stronger (Think about hurricane Katrina) we're looking at widespread issues here. It's not a myth, it's a "theory" that is based in many many different and widespread scientific observations. And theorys are based on gathering of evidence and facts. And gravity is a theory. This is big.
