Bromley Quoted in Columbia Chronicle Article on Climate Change
Gordon Bromley, a research assistant professor at the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute, was quoted in a Columbia Chronicle article about a a meta-analysis by a University of Connecticut ecology and evolutionary biology professor that states the impact of global warming is more tangible and destructive than previously thought. Mark Urban’s study, which was published in the journal Science, states if global temperatures continue to rise at their current pace, up to one in six species will be in danger of extinction. “To pin the blame on our actions in such a stark way is appropriate but entirely new,” Bromley said of the study. “We’ve heard a lot about how climate is going to keep changing, but we’ve never looked at what the impact will be on species.”
