International Scientists warned that Earth's ecosystem will risks a major transformation in the next century due to climate change. Some of these changes were already started to happen in the US through wildfires it had destroyed pine forests and transforming swaths of the territory into shrublands. These changes will likely to extend to savannas, deserts and woodlands n the next 100-150 years. It will upset the whole ecosystem. Climate change is something we have to give the greatest importance and should check it properly. Otherwise, it will affect the diversity of the planet. Human-caused climate change is different than other causes. The burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal emits heat trapped gases around the planet. the Earth is currently heating up at, much quicker pace. Researchers described their work as the most comprehensive study to date, based on pollen and plant fossil records from 594 sites worldwide dating back to between 21000 and 14000 years ago. every continent except Antartica is included. The most significant changes were seen in the mid to high latitudes of North America, Europe, and Southern South America. Shifting landscapes would affect drinking water, water recreation, river flow.
