Complex Ecosystem Transformations Quick Check There is a history of global temperatures changing but why is this change different? (1 point) It is not different; this is a regular shift in temperature. There are more species on the planet this time. The Earth is getting cooler everywhere instead of warmer. This shift in temperature is happening more quickly.

## Step 1
The question is asking us to identify the reason why the current change in global temperatures is different from previous changes. The options provided are:
- It is not different; this is a regular shift in temperature.
- There are more species on the planet this time.
- The Earth is getting cooler everywhere instead of warmer.
- This shift in temperature is happening more quickly.

## Step 2
We need to consider the current climate change scenario. The current change in global temperatures is characterized by a rapid increase in average global temperatures, which is different from previous changes.

## Step 3
The other options do not accurately describe the current climate change scenario. The number of species on the planet is not directly related to the change in global temperatures. The Earth is not getting cooler everywhere; in fact, it is getting warmer in many places. The statement that this shift in temperature is not different is not accurate because the current change is happening at a faster pace than previous changes.
