The alarm first went out in 2003, in what he called “an impending biological catastrophe": Biologist Stephen Williams of James Cook University in Queensland, with his colleagues, was the first to predict that an entire rare ecosystem, the most diverse in Australia with scores of animals and birds found nowhere else, would be pushed toward its physical limits at the top of a tropical mountain range if global warming continued. The paper was a turning point, focusing scientists and policy makers on climate change’s effects on ecosystems worldwide.
