I’m seeing nothing especially new here, but, with that said, some
important concerns do get further confirmation, and some important
new details offered.
For example, a shift of biomes (e.g., forest shift to grassland) has
been a growing concern in recent years, and not one expressed only
within narrow scientific circles. When 60 Minutes interviewed Thomas
Sweatnam a year or more ago, he stated the risk that forests could be
replaced by a new and different biome.
The challenge for snow dependent species such as lynx has also been
noted before. But it’s been scientifically important to put those
issues to the test, and have them confirmed — or not. And the
challenge for the Propertius duskywing butterfly if climate change
happens too fast for survival of oak trees is a new detail in the
realm of broken synchrony between one species and another.

climate change on entire ecosystems are even more alarming.”
