Endangered species list grows by 2,000. Climate change is part of the problem
The HinduClimate change is worsening the planet's biodiversity crises, making environments more deadly for thousands of species and accelerating the precipitous decline in the number of plants and animals on Earth, according to an international organization that tracks species health. Climate change is worsening conditions for about 6,700 species threatened with extinction. “They are climate captives because of higher temperatures, drought — whatever happens amphibians cannot move out of harm's way and are directly impacted by climate change,” said Vivek Menon, deputy chair of the IUCN's species survival commission. To combat the threat posed by climate change, she said fossil fuels need to be phased out, a contentious focus of this year's COP28 negotiations.
