But paradoxically, the losses of harlequin frogs were taking place in unusually warm years. |
Disease is the bullet killing frogs, but climate change is pulling the trigger. |
Disease is the bullet that's killing the frogs. But climate change is pulling the trigger. Global warming is wreaking havoc on amphibians, and soon will cause staggering losses of biodiversity. |
Global warming is wreaking havoc on amphibians and will cause staggering losses of biodiversity if we don't do something fast. |
I suspect that climate change is involved in general in these enigmatic declines. Ultimately we have to have a transition to cleaner energy technologies, to cleaner sources of energy. But by then, it might be too late for the mountain yellow-legged frogs. |
It's a mass extinction in the making. |
The basic message is that global warming is already causing species extinctions and a lot of them. |
