A 2004 study in the journal nature concluded: "many plant and animal species are unlikely to survive climate change. new analyses suggest that 15-37% of a sample of 1,103 land plants and animals would eventually become extinct as a result of climate changes expected by 2050. for some of these species there will no longer be anywhere suitable to live." how would the extinction of plant species lead to the extinction of animal species?

Because many animals eat plants to survive, so if you cut off the animals food source you will kill them because they have nothing to eat, which leads to a chain reaction. If bunnies eat grass and foxes eat bunnies the everything goes extinct, because the grass dies and the bunny doesnt have anything to eat so it dies, and then the fox was supposed to eat that bunny but now its dead so now the fox will die too
