For example, the paired statements «Environmentalists assert that the reports by the panel are watered down by a requirement that sponsoring governments approve its summaries line by line» and «Some experts fret that the organization, charged with assessing fast - evolving science, has failed to keep pace with an explosion of climate research» seem too easy, and I worry that such beliefs and accusations become propagated as facts without some serious evaluation as to their authority.

At best, changes of such magnitude would trigger dramatic re-organization of ecosystems across the globe that would play out over the next few centuries; at worst, extinction rates would elevate considerably for the many species adapted to pre-global warming conditions, via mechanisms described above (inability to disperse or evolve fast enough to keep pace with the extremely rapid rate of climate change, and disruption of ecological interactions within communities as species respond individualistically).

These considerations make it very likely that at least some populations and species would likely go extinct, and even more will likely drop below viable numbers of individuals within the next few decades simply because they could not disperse across fragmented landscapes fast enough to keep pace with movement of their required climate zones.

Consequently, the predicted «velocity» of climate change — that is, how fast populations of a species would have to shift in geographic space in order to keep pace with the shift of the organisms» current local climate envelope across the Earth's surface — is also unprecedented (Diffenbaugh and Field, 2013; Loarie et al.,

Recent meta - analyses indicate that on average, examined terrestrial species have been moving poleward about 1.76 km / yr (reported as 17.6 + 2.9 km / decade), apparently keeping pace with regional temperature change, although species range shifts to higher elevations have on average lagged behind climate (Chen et al., 2011).
