Climate change itself is having a profound negative effect on biodiversity. Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, habitat loss, water scarcity, crop losses, desertification, ocean acidification or an increase in extreme weather events: all these developments are putting pressure on local ecosystems, including the plants and animals that live there. This means that many species are being forced to leave their habitats just to survive or are already on the brink of extinction. ( From myclimate.org)
