Exercise 1: True/False Question

Read the passage below, then select True or False for the statement.

Reading Passage:
Climate change is transforming ecosystems worldwide in unprecedented ways. Rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and an increased frequency of extreme weather events are affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Species are forced to migrate, adapt, or face extinction as their habitats undergo rapid alterations. In addition, melting polar ice and rising sea levels threaten coastal communities and alter oceanic circulation patterns. These ecological disruptions not only impact wildlife but also have profound socio-economic consequences, as communities reliant on natural resources must adjust to new realities. Scientific research continues to unravel the complex interplay between climate change and ecological dynamics, emphasizing the urgent need for global cooperation in mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Question:
Climate change is causing only minor changes to global ecosystems.
