  9. How does climate change affect biodiversity?

    If current rates of warming continue, by 2030 global temperatures could increase by more than 1.5°C (2.7°F) compared to before the industrial revolution. A major impact of climate change on biodiversity is the increase in the intensity and frequency of fires, storms or periods of drought. In Australia at the end of 2019 and start of 2020, 97 ...

  10. Unbalanced: How Climate Change Is Shifting Earth's Ecosystems

    Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and storms are more intense. These are some of the visible impacts of global warming, caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are due to warming in the atmosphere and ocean. In a 2018 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the average global temperature has risen about 1ºC (1.8ºF ...

  12. Climate Impacts on Plants and Animals

    Together, these living and non-living components make up an ecosystem. Climate helps shape ecosystems. Things like average temperatures, humidity, and rainfall determine where plants and animals live. If a region's climate changes, the ecosystems change as well. Climate change has diverse impacts on plants, animals, and ecosystems.

  13. How the climate crisis could impact our future

    A new report by an international body of scientists exposes the sheer gravity of the climate crisis and the increasingly severe climate impacts facing people and nature. To drive home the impacts on nature, WWF created a new version that incorporates plants and animals to highlight how climate change affects generations across all species on the planet.

  14. Effects of Climate Change

    Courtney Lindwall. Climate change is our planet's greatest existential threat. If we don't limit greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, the consequences of rising global ...

  15. Climate change impacts on animal migration

    Animals use predictable environmental cues for the timing and navigation of migration. A change in these cues will affect the phenology and extent of migration. Arrival date and hatching date are phenological markers in migrating birds, for example, that can be strongly affected by global warming.

  16. Climate Change and Zoonoses: A Review of Concepts, Definitions, and

    Climate change can have a complex impact that also influences human and animal health. For example, climate change alters the conditions for pathogens and vectors of zoonotic diseases. Signs of this are the increasing spread of the West Nile and Usutu viruses and the establishment of new vector species, such as specific mosquito and tick ...

  19. Animal migration: Impacts of extreme weather, climate change

    Listen to the article. Climate change and extreme weather events are impacting animal migration patterns, with over half of all species on the move, researchers say. Many are heading north and to higher ground, but some are at risk because of the slower speeds at which they migrate. Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse is one of the most ...
