NASA: Climate Change May Flip 40% of Earth's Major Ecosystems This... By Climate Guest Contributor on December 26, 2011 at 1:00 pm "NASA: Climate Change May Flip 40% of Earth’s Major Ecosystems This Century" by Rolf Schuttenhelm, cross-posted from Bits of Science The results of studies that try to quantify the effects of climate change on biodiversity loss — which include damage to the micro scale level of subspecies and genetic variation — are perhaps most shocking. When, however, you focus on the response to climate change at the macro level, the ecosystem level, you get a better understanding of what is one of the major drivers of that biodiversity loss: forced migrations. According to the same study most of the land on Earth that is not currently desert or under an icecap will undergo at least a 30 percent change in vegetation cover. Ecological damage is the real climate problem It is not just species that have slowly evolved around specific climatic values, the same goes for ecosystems. Migrations will crisscross Most sensitive climate hotspots
