loss of biodiversity --- Of course climate change is a major threat, but one should also mention the issue of biodiversity loss, closely linked to climate change. It is perhaps an issue that is much more difficult to study for scientists and complex to understand for the public. Because of that, a political choice was made in the 1990's to focus the narrative on global warming. This might make sense, but we shouldn't forget about biodiversity, as it might have a terrible impact on the ecosystem and our living conditions... Ideally, countries should tackle climate change and biodiversity loss at the same time...
