Do we know for sure that climate change will decrease diversity? I’d imagine making colder areas of the planet warmer would allow more life to thrive. I mean compare now to the last ice age. Surely there’s more life now.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally on board with team climate so I hope this doesn’t come across as blasphemy.
- Nevermark 5y agoAny fast change to the global environments is going to cause more extinctions than speciations. That is loss of diversity. Their is no minimal time for extinctions, whereas the time to speciate significantly requires hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Having the climate change in conjunction with pouring plastic into the environment, the CO2 effects on ocean life, overfishing, destruction of wild land and life, chemicals leaking into the environment, etc - and the problem multiplies.
