4.Ecological dangers To respond to climatic changes plants will have to migrate to higher elevations at a speed of 1.5 to 5.5 cm a year, yet many plant populations have a migration rate far slower than the pace of climatic change. The result will be an increasing decline in number, and even extinction, of these populations. Correspondingly, animals, which depend upon these plants, will also die out.
四、危害動植物生態為了因應氣候變化，植物族群必須往較高海拔遷移，速度必須達到每年 1.5 到 5.5 公里才行，而許多植物的垂直遷移速度遠遠落後於氣候變化的腳步，結果導致族群數量愈來愈少，甚至絕種；相對的，依賴其生存的動物也要遭殃。
