Climate change could drive to extinction as many as one in six animal and plant species, according to a new analysis.
In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, Mark Urban, an ecologist at the University of Connecticut, also found that as the planet warms in the future, species will disappear at an accelerating rate.
“We have the choice,” he said in an interview. “The world can decide where on that curve they want the future Earth to be.”
If emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases continue to grow, climate researchers project the world could warm by as much as 8 degrees Fahrenheit. As the climate continues to change, scientists fear, some species won’t be able to find suitable habitats.

I challenge Mark Urban to stop the snow in the Northeast next winter.
What's his point?
>> “The world can decide where on that curve they want the future Earth to be.”
It’s a good thing arrogance doesn’t harm the ozone layer; we’d all have melanoma after this one spews his idiocy.
I'm just so lost...

Sheesh.
5.56mm
It wouldn't make any difference it he said "will definitely," it would still be a lie.
5 out of 6 Research Dollar$ threatened by the end of Global Warming.

There, there. See, you have to add ‘em up:
one in six plus one in thirteen equals hmmm common denominator six times thirteen is sixty-plus-eighteen is seventy eight so um thirteen seventyeighths plus six seventyeights is
nineteen in seventy eight extinct speeces total.
Does that help?
99.9% of all species that have ever inhabited this planet are extinct.
Adapt or die.
gee didn’t ABC say 1 in 13....guess they used common core math
I’d like real scientists to do mt “studies”, thank you very much.
And NYT, there ain’t any of those writing the articles your low IQ reporters chose to cite.
1 in 6 - Climate model 689-A20-1982G v1.7
1 in 13 - Cimate model 721-A12-0298P v2.0
Damn this is twice as bad as ABC’s story which states 1 in 13, now I’m really scared!
of course I say 500% will be lost.........
Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.

7 in 6 species could go extinct from global warming...
And both are wrong wrong wrong....Based on jiggered data and nonsense ideology from those who have an ax to grind
