Climate change to push over 10 percent of the world's species to extinction by 2100


A new study in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Science has found that by the time today's infants are 90 years old (i.e. the year 2100) climate change could have pushed over 11 percent of the world's species to extinction.  See Jeremy Hance's article at http://news.mongabay.com/2011/0711-hance_climate_extinction.html
