A 2004 study in the journal Nature concluded: "Many plant and animal species are unlikely to survive climate change.New analyses suggest that 15-37% of a sample of 1,103 land plants and animals would eventually become extinct as a result of climate changes expected by 2050.For some of these species there will no longer be anywhere suitable to live."
