PlanetEarth: UK wildlife is already feeling the effects of climate change, scientists say. According to a report out on Thursday, with input from many of the UK's top environmental scientists, many species are now found further north and at higher altitudes than in previous decades. Climate change may also be making it easier for species from foreign shores to invade, often to the cost of native wildlife. The Terrestrial Biodiversity Report Card is the first in a series of reports commissioned by the...
