The immediate impacts of climate change and land-use change are severe enough, but increasingly, researchers are warning that large enough changes can then snowball into catastrophic changes. New, supercomputer-powered research from Giovanni Strona (a senior researcher with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, or JRC) and Corey Bradshaw (a professor at Flinders University in Australia) shows how devastating that effect may be, with simulations showing double-digit percentage losses in vertebrate species diversity by the end of the century.
