Most scientists think that evidence from different studies shows that our global climate is changing in many ways, such as getting warmer, more rain falling in shorter amounts of time, and more drought. The scientists in this study used mathematical formulas to study what kind of impact these changes in the Earth’s climate might have on vegetation.
