The nail grows from a point near the roots below the skin. This semi-circle named the 'lunula' comprises a group of cells that manufacture keratin, a dead, hoof-like protein. Though nails grow an average of two inches per year, their growth slows with age, and the average adult's fingernails grow only one inch in eight months. The base of the nails is embedded into the skin. Unlike other skin, it contains elastic fibres that connect it to the nail, and hold it firmly in place. The cuticle, a rim of skin over the lunula, protects it from bacterial infection, serves as a shock absorber, and shields the nail from any sudden impacts. Normally, the lunula is white in colour, indicating proper nutrition and good overall health. Blue lunula raise red flags that circulatory problems to the fingers may exist. Nails that are hard, brittle, and tend to split easily, may also be clues to poor circulation, infection, or disturbances of the glandular and nutritional systems. Those curling sharply around the finger point to coronary, liver, or lung diseases.

Today scientists draw attention to some of the potential consequences of global warming on wildlife. They point out that each species reacts to changes in
temperature differently. Some species will undoubtedly become extinct, particularly those with narrow temperature requirements, those confined to small reserves or parks, and those living in fragile ecosystems, whereas other species may survive in greatly reduced numbers and ranges. Ecosystems
considered most vulnerable to species loss in the short term are polar seas, coral reefs, mountains, coastal wetlands,tundra, taiga, and temperate forests. On the other hand, some species may be able to migrate to new environments or adapt themselves to the changing conditions in their present habitats. Also, some species may be unaffected by global warming, whereas others may emerge from it as winners, with greatly expanded numbers and ranges. Those considered most likely to prosper include weeds, pests, and disease-carrying organisms that are already common in many different
environments.
It is clear from the passage that global warming .----
A) has caused much decline in the number of many rare species
B) is particularly harmful to coastal wetlands and coral reefs
