Research from around the world has already pointed out that climate warming induced by humans has a dramatic impact on Earth’s environment. Such examples of the effects of global warming are cannibalistic polar bears, melting glaciers and earlier-blooming plants.

Still, authors of the study say that this is the first time the data have been compiled in a single study. The authors have already expressed their concerns regarding the dramatic changes that can occur by just 1 degrees Fahrenheit of average warming.

The IPCC has stated that global average temperatures are expected to rise between 4 and 11 degrees Fahrenheit before the climate stabilizes over the next century.

The study contains data about 829 physical systems, such as melting glaciers and warming waters, and 28.000 living plant and animal systems stretching back to 1970. All these systems have shown significant changes over the last few decades.
