Rising temperatures will cause devastating biodiversity losses 

Climate change is set to trigger catastrophic biodiversity losses in the coming decades, according to a new study led by University College London. Global warming is pushing many species to a tipping point, and these plants and animals will disappear abruptly if temperatures continue to rise.  The researchers predict that a large number of species will vanish simultaneously under the strain of climate change, and some regions will suffer extraordinary losses sooner than others. Unprecedented disasters, such as the mass coral bleaching events on the Great …
