“Nature will adapt” sounds reassuring, but what if the problem isn’t resilience, but speed?
In this episode of The Climate Translation, Dr. Mac examines how plants and animals respond to climate change, and why many are failing to keep up. He explains how adaptation, migration, and evolution actually work, and why modern warming is happening far faster than biology is designed to handle.
Using clear analogies and real-world examples, this episode explores the growing barriers wildlife faces: fragmented landscapes, mistimed seasons, and hard physiological limits that no amount of resilience can overcome. The result is a planet that has become a high-stakes obstacle course, where survival increasingly depends on how fast conditions are changing, not how tough nature is.
