Study of 40,000 Sites and 5,100 Species Finds Climate Change Impact Far Worse Than Expected
A landmark study published in Nature Climate Change has overturned long-held scientific consensus: temperate species are now more vulnerable to climate change than tropical ones. Analysing over 40,000 sites and 5,100 species, researchers found that 45% of species have already experienced local extinction at the warmest parts of their ranges, with temperate regions warming at roughly 3.3°C — nearly double the 1.8°C recorded in tropical zones.
