Increase global average temperature by 2 C (3.6 F) and the Metabolic Rate (Energy Burn; Pace-of-Life;...) increases 20-30%. Since there is a fixed number of heartbeats in a lifetime (1 or 2 billion heartbeats); a faster pace-of-life means a shorter lifespan, unless the organism can migrate to a cooler region. Understanding how all life connects via nonlinear size scaling is crucial to know how life processes like growth, health, & longevity are affected by abrupt climate change.
