This will greatly affect ecosystem services and so the habitability of our planet. For instance, mild winters and early springs can cause many plants, such as dandelions, to blossom ...
How humankind manages to confront what is coming will be critical. Throughout history, we have seen cultures that managed to adapt to harsh climatic circumstances and others for which the game ended.
