一项最新研究表明,地球上近一半的物种无法应对当下的全球变暖问题,地球离史上第六次物种大灭绝可能只剩几十年的时间。进化生物学家约翰•韦恩斯的研究发现,在近1000种动植物中,有47%的物种出现了与气候变化相关的局部灭绝。他还认为,特朗普当选总统会让事情雪上加霜。
Nearly half the species on the planet are failing to cope with global warming the world has already experienced, according to an alarming new study that suggests the sixth mass extinction of animal life in the Earth's history could take place in as little as 50 years.
一项令人震惊的最新研究表明,地球上近一半的物种无法应对当前发生的全球变暖,地球离史上第六次物种大灭绝可能只有50年了。
A leading evolutionary biologist, Professor John Wiens, found that 47 percent of nearly 1,000 species had suffered local extinctions linked to climate change with populations absent from areas where they had been found before.
约翰•韦恩斯教授是一位杰出的进化生物学家,他发现在近1000种物种中,有47%的物种出现了与气候变化相关的局部灭绝,一些物种在他们原来生存的区域消失了。
Professor Wiens, who is editor of the Quarterly Review of Biology and a winner of the American Society of Naturalists' Presidential Award, said the implications for the future were serious because his review showed plants and animals were struggling to deal with the relatively small amount of global warming experienced to date.
