Climate Change and Extinction

As a result of a recent lecture at the British Museum, I was recently reading about woolly mammoths.  This once extensive species was effectively wiped out by climate change altering its habitat, with maybe some help from over exploitation by human beings.  As we head for the greatest level of climate change since the last Ice Age, the fate of the mammoth gives plenty to think about in terms of today's biodiversity and climate change.  All kinds of species will find it incredibly hard to cope.
