Abstract
A succession of environmental events over the last few years has led to a dramatically increased awareness of the issue of global climate change and to the conviction that global climate change is occurring. The anticipated global climate changes are new and unique in that they will have been generated by human activity and could result in large-scale disruptions in ecosystems altering the suitability for organisms currently occupying them. The goals of both conservation biology and agriculture of feeding an increasing world population and preserving species diversity may be seriously challenged when linked to climate change. Anticipated atmospheric changes in precipitation patterns, temperature, and greenhouse gases could have extreme effects on species and ecosystems. Human systems could also be affected, especially those based on coastal wetlands or shared river basins. Agriculture will be profoundly affected, with local, regional, and global changes occurring. Species distribution is likely to be drastically altered as a consequence of global warming.
