“One of the most disturbing ways that climate change is already playing out is through what ecologists call "mismatch" or "mistiming." This is the process whereby warming causes animals to fall out of step with a critical food source, particularly at breeding times, when a failure to find enough food can lead to rapid population losses.” WayEnoughScienceFallCausesProcessLossAnimalStepsFoodSourceClimateClimate ChangePopulationCriticalRapidsDisturbingBreedingMismatch Author:Naomi Klein
“If price spikes don't change eating habits, perhaps the combination of deforestation, pollution, climate change, starvation, heart disease and animal cruelty will gradually encourage the simple daily act of eating more plants and fewer animals.” IfsHeartSimpleAnimalHabitDiseaseEatingPlantClimateClimate ChangeCrueltyCombinationFewerPollutionStarvationDon't ChangeAnimal CrueltyHeart DiseaseDeforestationEating Habits Book:A Bone to Pick: The good and bad news about food, with wisdom and advice on diets, food safety, GMOs, farming, and more Source: A Bone to Pick: The good and bad news about food, with wisdom and advice on diets, food safety, GMOs, farming, and more
“Unfortunately, there's a big, bad new bully threatening ocean animals, climate change. We might save fish only to have them starve because of climate change.

“Oceans need more attention because climate change IS an ocean issue. Our oceans will be the first victim, and sea life will suffer dramatically. Detailed proof is hard in ocean science, but I think we're already seeing big ocean changes caused by climate change, such as starvation of whales, seabirds, and other animals off the coast US west coast.” ThinkingNeedsFirstsHardBigsSufferingAnimalAttentionIssuesSeeingSeaOceanVictimWestClimateClimate ChangeProofCoastStarvationWhalesWest CoastSea Life Author:Mark Powell
