Can wildlife adapt to climate change? - Erin Eastwood

With rising temperatures and seas, massive droughts, and changing landscapes, successfully adapting to climate change is increasingly important. For humans, this can mean using technology to find solutions. But for some plants and animals, adapting to these changes involves the most ancient solution of all: evolution. Erin Eastwood explains how animals are adapting to climate change.

I've always wished we could know just how diverse were the lifeforms before the Permian Extinction. Ninety-six percent of species are thought to have been wiped out.

It's kind of amazing that we have the ability to impact our environment in such ways, whether good or bad.

No matter how much light comes to the situation, people seem to convert to their old cheap habits of living. The change will never happen until there is a dangerous fire lit behind us. Right now people see it as a distant fire, to be dealt with later/ future. Why is it up to future us to deal with it? What the world is experiencing is a major form of procrastination because it's too "hard" or too "expensive".

The long and the short answer to the question is: Some of them will, and some of them won't, and evolution will continue, as it always has. It's just that the human caused selective pressure, is a bit odd, but from an evolutionary standpoint, it's really no different than any other catastrophe.

His voice is like idek how to explain it, it's just so perfect and clean.
