Climatologists are the scientists who study climate patterns and make predictions about what will or will not happen in the future. Wildlife biologists & ecologists as well as botanists are a completely different set of scientists.

I participated in a survey of fish in the Allegheny River. Many different species which were not previously present in recent years have returned as have mayflies. However, other scientists have noted high levels of fecal coliform in the same river, so it is not exactly safe to drink the water directly or incur a cut while swimming in the river.

My point is just because it river or other ecosystem looks healthy to the eyes, doesn't mean that it is.
