Climate change will likely change the geographical distribution of many species. For instance as temperature rises, many species will have to shift to higher latitudes in order to remain under similar environmental conditions (Harley, 2006). These species shifts can introduce alien species to ecosystems where they had not been previously present, which can fundamentally alter these ecosystems. For instance, huge swarms of mauve stingers (Pelagia nocticula), which can devastate populations of fish, are becoming common in the waters off of Britain, where they had not been known until recent years (CNN, 2007). There are, of course, other variables that determine species distribution, and thus the shifts will not be this simple. For some species, such as the Antarctic Icefish, there may be no higher latitudes to which they can move. For these species, climate change may well lead to extinction (Pauly 2007).

Mitigation of Climate Change
Recommendations:
We acknowledge that the issue of global climate change is outside the scope of Mission 2011's proposed solutions. However, this is a matter of such global importance and potential impact that to not discuss the issue at all, even briefly, would have been negligent. Furthermore, we emphasize that slowing or stopping the progress of anthropogenic global warming is necessary. For more information on this topic we suggest visiting the website of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change at <http://www.ipcc.ch>.
