carnivores and decomposers.

An ecosystem is a physical environment involving living (plant, animal and human) and non-living  components (sun, water and soil). Living components are dependent upon non-living components for their survival. But they can sustain their lives even in the absence of non-living components. The ecosystem probably survive without carnivores and climate. Carnivores are organisms which feed upon other organisms. Carnivores are grouped in highest trophic level in a food chain. If carnivores are removed from the ecosystem a ecosystem can sustain the life of lower trophic levels in a food chain. Therefore, ecosystem can survive without carnivores. A change in climate can affect life forms living in an ecosystem. But if life forms can undergo adaptations to tolerate the change in climate then an ecosystem would probably survive without appropriate climate.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
