Yesterday, ABC's John Berman (subscription required) looked into whether global warming will make severe Atlantic Ocean hurricanes more frequent. Now NBC's Ian Williams looks at the impact on the land in Australia. Wildlife habitats there are already stressed by drought and fires. Prolonged climate change could force ecosystems to relocate permanently. As a consequence a conservancy named Bush Heritage has purchased a continuous 1,700-mile corridor of wilderness along Australia's Pacific coastline that will allow species to migrate without having to overcome manmade obstacles as their habitats change. And besides the environmental explanation, Williams' video contained plenty of pictures of kangaroos and eagles, dingos and emus, wallabies and wombats.
