Trees:
1. 2060 climate set to kill most trees
2. forests & #39;as we know them& #39; will die
3. Europe: 42% face extinction today
4. trees cannot migrate fast enough
5. mass forest die-offs will expand
6. forest ecosystems now on brink
It& #39;s time to start making some noise about it.

& #39;some recent research suggests that, in 40 years, none of the trees alive today will be able to survive the projected climate& #39;
Without rapid cuts to emissions (or even with?) 4C by 2060 is entirely plausible. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/24042020/forest-trees-climate-change-deforestation?amp&__twitter_impression=true">https://insideclimatenews.org/news/2404...

European Trees:
& #39;a disturbingly high level of extinction risk& #39;.
42% threatened with extinction (assessed as Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered).
Among endemic trees - those that don& #39;t exist anywhere else on Earth - 58% are threatened. https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/science-environment-49838650?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/...

& #39;warming temperatures will likely require forests to shift by 400 to 600 km (about 250 to 370 miles) by 2100, a rate faster than most species can tolerate.& #39;

Mass forest die-offs will proliferate and expand.
& #39;despite the grim outlook, it& #39;s important not to paint an entirely desperate picture& #39; https://insideclimatenews.org/news/24042020/forest-trees-climate-change-deforestation?amp&__twitter_impression=true">https://insideclimatenews.org/news/2404...

Tropical forests appear set for collapse between now and the 2040s when rapid Arctic sea ice loss and extreme heat waves are taken into account: https://www.carbonbrief.org/deep-emissions-cuts-this-decade-could-prevent-abrupt-ecological-collapse">https://www.carbonbrief.org/deep-emis...

The tipping point is here:
& #39;It is urgent, the scientists say, that Brazil move away from unsustainable agribusiness monocultures of cattle, soy, and sugarcane, while launching a major reforestation project on already degraded lands& #39; https://news.mongabay.com/2019/12/the-tipping-point-is-here-it-is-now-top-amazon-scientists-warn/">https://news.mongabay.com/2019/12/t...

Forests could also perish on a global scale.
