But the new study looks at the 25 "hot spots"--areas that contain a big concentration of plants and animals--and predicts that 11.6 percent of all species, with a range from 1 to 43 percent, could be driven to extinction if levels of heat trapping gases in the atmosphere were to keep rising in the next 100 years.

Rare plants, tortoises or birds found only on the southern tip of Africa cannot move south because the nearest land is thousands of miles away in Antarctica.

The southwest of Australia has been named as one of 25 "hot spots" for future species extinction because of global warming. A new study says global warming will become a top cause of extinction across the world, with thousands of species of plantsand animals likely to be wiped out in the coming decades.  According to the study, global warming ranks among the most serious threats to the planet's biodiversity and, under some conditions, may be more than that due to deforestation. This study provides even stronger scientific evidence that global warming will result in catastrophic species losses across the planet. Last month, a UN study said humans were responsible for the worst extinction and urged extra efforts to reach a UN target of slowing the rate of losses by 2010.  Scientists disagree about how far global warming is to blame compared with other human threats such as deforestation, pollution and the introduction of some species to new habitats. But the new study looks at the 25 "hot spots"--areas that contain a big concentration of plants and animals--and predicts that 11.6 percent of all species, with a range from 1 to 43 percent, could be driven to extinction if levels of heat trapping gases in the atmosphere were to keep rising in the next 100 years.  The range would mean the loss of thousands of species. The study gave a wide range because of uncertainties, for instance, about the ability of animals or plants to move towards the poles if the climate warmed. Rare plants, tortoises or birds found only on the southern tip of Africa cannot move south because the nearest land is thousands of miles away in Antarctica.
