Mass Extinction!

[Anomalocaris]

Climate change most certainly power major parts of habitat destruction by forcing habitats out of their established locations and seek substitutes further from equators, higher in elevation, or disappear. Coastal wetlands for example, established at areas leveled by 8000 years relatively stable sea levels, will essentially disappear as ocean level rise to new altitudes where there has been no time for erosion or deposition to establish comparable topology.
