Climate change primary driver of amphibian decline: Study

A major threat to amphibians over the last 30 years has been the Chytrid fungus, which has been spread by human contamination, but has been aided in entering new regions by changing climates.

The upshot of this, as it relates to the submitted article, is there is a comprehensive, cross-functional and multi-method conservation action plan in place for amphibians, that has been operating now for some time, in response to threats like Chytrid. A new release of the plan is expected this year: https://www.iucn-amphibians.org/resources/acap/

Whilst the plan involves a lot of preservation of amphibians in their native habitats, a particularly interesting part of it is the “Amphibian Ark”, https://www.amphibianark.org/about-us/. Pretty much as it sounds, they’re taking live specimens of the most threatened species out of at-risk sites and trying to establish captive breeding populations. During the most aggressive periods of Chytrid spread, there’s been stories of expeditions reaching sites and securing specimens days before the disease tore through, most notably as told by a BBC crew filming golden frogs for an Attenborough documentary: https://news.mongabay.com/2008/02/the-panamanian-golden-frog...

offtopic: Regarding the argument that we shouldn't plant trees because they'll release carbon again:

Sure, but we'd get 50 to 100 years or more of massive carbon capture, during which we can figure out how to get out of this mess we're in.

further offtopic: Eventually, the disasters will get bad enough that the pressure from people demanding action will outweigh the pressure from lobbying money. But the changes lag the emissions, possibly by a few decades. So by the time action is taken, things will be guaranteed to get worse for 20+ years!

Unfortunately, because of this I believe we're utterly fucked. Words like "doom", "extinction", and "hellscape of suffering" spring to mind. Billions of human lives are going to be lost, and I'm not sure there will be any survivors. Maybe there will be a few scattered tribes of hunter-gatherers?

I hope the biosphere can recover.

I'd wager this is more of a result of Mark Zuckerberg not wanting competition from other reptilian forces and he's using weather machines to wipe away competing cold-blooded tribes
