Today, climate change is fueling heavy precipitation around the globe. Species have started to shift locations or find other ways to adapt. Is the past prologue?
There are already widespread local plant and animal species extinctions occurring as a result of anthropogenic climate change, new research from the University of Arizona has found. The new work determined that local extinctions have now already occurred in 47% of the 976 plant and animal species analyzed in the study, as a result of anthropogenic climate change.
Originally published on The Climate Reality Project. 2016 is well on its way to being the warmest year on record, so it’s no surprise that multiple climate change records have already been broken this year. Thankfully, the entry into force of the Paris Agreement (which, by the way, set a … [continued]
