Climate change has raised the temperature of the Earth by about 1.1 °C (2.0 °F) since the Industrial Revolution.As the extent of future greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation actions determines the climate change scenario taken, warming may increase from present levels by less than 0.4 °C (0.72 °F) with rapid and comprehensive mitigation (the 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) Paris Agreement goal) to ...
An international report released earlier this year by the United Nations Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals listed climate change as one of the top three threats ...
If the emission of greenhouse gases isn't slowed, 389 out of 604 species in North America face extinction, according to the NationalAudobon Society
One of the biggest barriers to funding and legislation is a lack of public knowledge about nature conservation and its impacts. A great resource to learn more is heronconservation.org .
A 2018 study examined the impact of climate change on Troglohyphantes cave spiders in the Alps and found that even the low-emission scenario RCP2.6 would reduce their habitat by ~45% by 2050, while the high emission scenario would reduce it by ~55% by 2050 and ~70% by 2070. The authors suggested that this may be sufficient to drive the most ...
However, as a result of climate change, the flycatchers are now forced to lay eggs earlier, which leaves these birds not enough time to prepare their nests properly. [27] Climate change poses a serious threat to long distance migrant birds because they arrive at inappropriate time to exploit environmental opportunities, and face higher ...
Global warming is impacting a one-of-a-kind bird species in Florida in a way that is surprising ornithologists, a study found. Populations of the Florida scrub-jay, the only bird found solely in ...
