<div>"Current global climate change agreements aim to limit
warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius," said Wendy Foden, co-author and
chair of the IUCN Species Survival Commission's Climate Change
Specialist Group. "We're showing that there are already broad and
serious impacts from climate change right across biological
systems."</div>

<div>"Although we are only at an early stage in the projected
trends of global warming, ecological responses to recent climate
change are already clearly visible."</div>

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

that we now live in troubled times is trite. It has been made clear in
many quarters for almost a decade ... we
have become conscious of ... the energy

dimly aware ... The individual scientist can survive for a
long time by lying low in the valley of specialized intellectual
interest ... We in science must get up and
face the wind, confront the future."</font></div>
