Excerpt</b></font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Arial">Scientists from 40 countries are gathering in
Hobart for a four-day conference about how climate change is forcing
species to move, including humans.<br>
<br>
Professor Camille Parmesan from Plymouth University in the UK said
around the world animals and plants were moving towards the Earth's
poles, and it is happening faster than scientists had originally
predicted.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Arial">"For the species that we have really good
data on where they've lived historically over the past 100 years,
we're seeing about half of those have actually moved where they live,
which is an astonishing number given we've only had one degree
centigrade warming," she said.</font></div>
