"Climate change is not a new topic in biologyŠ 
Observations of range shifts in parallel with 
climate change Š date back to the mid-1700s."

"A surprising result is the high proportion of 
species responding to recent, relatively mild 
climate change (global average warming of 0.6C). 
The proportion of wild species impacted by 
climate change was estimated at 41% of all 
species (655 of 1598)."
