The effects of climate change on the natural world are devastating, with as many as 1 million species at risk of disappearing in the coming decades

In 1996, a biologist named Camille Parmesan observed that an obscure breed of butterfly living in the Western mountain ranges of the U.S. — the Edith’s checkerspot — had shifted its migratory range about 60 miles north in search of cooler temperatures. It was one of the first studies to document “the fingerprints of climate change,” as Parmesan put it — evidence that global warming was being felt in the animal kingdom.

Global warming has set off a cascade of disruptions to the web of life, changing animals’ breeding habits, food supply, and their very DNA. They are in distress not only from climate instability but also from the loss of habitat and pollution produced by unchecked human consumption.

To me this is worse than the sickness- there is enough people in this world but our wonderful planet is going to lose species after species due to our disregard of life other than our own😢

OTOH, if we all stay inside...
