The Climate Council have released a new report, ‘This is What Climate Change Looks Like,’ highlighting recent examples of the impacts of more frequent and severe weather events on our natural ecosystems and wildlife.
In many cases, our ecosystems and species were already under threat from other human-associated causes – like land clearing, over-harvesting, and invasive feral animals and weeds. The report states that “Climate change is adding to this litany of woes, in some cases providing what might be the last straw for species and systems already under grave stress.”
A summary of the report can be viewed here, and the full report can be downloaded here.
