As climate change pushes some plants northward, a new study suggests several unique species in Yukon and Alaska could have nowhere to go.

The scientific paper, published late last month in the journal Diversity and Distributions, used models to predict how 66 plant species with origins in Beringia, an area where glaciers did not form during the last ice age because of dry conditions, could respond to changes in temperature and precipitation from now until 2040.

The plant species examined included herbs, shrubs and graminoids, or grass-like plants, that can be found on the tundra, sand dunes, river banks, wetlands and forests in Yukon and Alaska. Many of them can't be found anywhere else in the world. Oke noted the region is already warming two to three times faster than the global average, and it's getting wetter in the winter. He said elevation is also a factor, with plants at higher elevations having limited space to move upward.

Or it could be a wet hoax. Whatever

Where tf would they go anyway they’re plants

But up!!!

Climate change? You mean cloud seeding , chem trails, harp, all weather modification used by government for modifying the weather,

Other plants will just grow into the area as temperatures become more ideal for them....now...how about that Chinese interference in our elections to establish a minority Liberal government...

I 'could' win the lottery tonight but it probably won't happen.

The climate has always changed. It's not us.

Oh enough already. Why is no one investigating and reporting further into the Chinese interfering with the election and why Trudeau is more concerned with who the whistleblower is?

In the journal 'Diversity and Distributions'. Using computer models to come up with the intended result. Yep, a study suggests.

Freeze the seeds and wait for the oncoming ice age.

Climate alarmism.

They can go to Bahamas with Trudeau on his next vacation .

There is no 'climate change' but man global cabal made GEOENGINEERING to intentionally modify weather such as chemtrails & HAARP! All is fake in the name of fake carbon print reduction & 15 min cities! Hey toronto you should know that cabal prepares 15min cities! DVP install.

“Could “ is the key word

The world will adapt. It has for millions of years
