With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

We humans love our superheroes and their catchy one liners, but we don't seem to follow their teachings in our daily lives. As a consequence, innocent life forms on our planet will perish and die long before their time:

Global warming over the coming century could mean a return of temperatures last seen in the age of the dinosaur and lead to the extinction of up to half of all species, a scientist said on Thursday.
[...]
Between 10 and 99 percent of species will be faced with atmospheric conditions that last existed before they evolved, and as a result from 10-50 percent of them could disappear. [...]
"We are starting to put these things into a historical perspective. These are conditions not seen for millions of years, so none of the species will have been subjected to them before," he added.
Thomas said scientific observations had already found that -- as predicted by the climate models -- 80 percent of species had already begun moving their traditional territorial ranges in response to the changing climatic conditions.
[...]
Not only had the animals, birds and insects started to react, but there was evidence vegetation was also on the move. [...]
Not only would some species simply find no suitable space to live anymore, but there would be confrontations with invasive species being forced to move their territory. This would produce not just wipe-outs but species' mixtures never seen before.

And the changes would all happen at a faster rate than ever before in evolution.

How sad. Scary and sad.
