  Interesting article. I thought everything was good until I hit that part The only thing its scientists got wrong was that what they called “potentially serious climate problems” wouldn’t emerge until the late 21st century. So much for that. The linked article refers to the loss in biodiversity, which is in my opinion not really related to climate change. It’s related to the fact that we humans leave less and less physical space for other species. I think it’s wrong to combine the two effects.

    If trends keep going and warmer oceans finally kill off most of the coral reefs, there's your lost biodiversity right there.
