Climate change and tropical biodiversity: a new focus Brodie J.‚ Post E.‚ Laurance W. In this review article‚ Brodie et al. expose a different approach to looking at the effects of global climate change on tropical biodiversity. An abundant amount of literature does‚ in fact‚ address the direct effects of climate change on biodiversity in the tropics. Brodie et al. argue‚ however‚ that while these efforts are extremely important and notable for current and future conservation efforts‚ little

The melting of the Arctic and Antarctic ice is a result of climate change. This climate change includes the decline of sea ice‚ rising temperatures and the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and the Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic Ice Sheet covers around ninety-eight percent of the Antarctic continent and is the largest body of ice on earth. The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second largest body of ice; it covers more than eighty percent of Greenland. The Ward-Hunt Ice Shelf is the largest single
