Red herring.
The speaker shifts attention from the central issue (whether global warming exists) to an unrelated point about equatorial animals liking warmth, which distracts rather than supports the original claim. It's not an ad hominem or bandwagon, and while the argument also doesn't logically follow, the primary tactic is diversion.
