A climate scientist from Tohoku University (Japan) Kunio Kaiho called the approximate date of the next mass extinction. His work has been published in the journal Biogeosciences.

We'll still live.  Climatologist called the approximate date of the sixth mass extinction

Over the past 540 million years, the Earth has experienced five mass extinctions, often accompanied by climate change. Kaiho assessed the stability of the average temperature of the Earth’s surface and the biodiversity of the planet, as a result, a pattern was discovered: the greater the change in temperature, the greater the extent of extinction. “In terms of global cooling, the largest mass extinctions occurred when temperatures dropped by about 7°C. If we are talking about warming, then mass extinctions occurred when the temperature rose by 9 ° C‘ Kaiho said.

By the end of the century, the temperature on Earth is expected to rise by an average of 4.4°C. “Global warming of 9°C will not occur until at least 2500 under the worst-case scenario‘, predicts Kaiho.

According to the scientist, today the climate is changing much faster for anthropogenic reasons. This could lead to the fact that the sixth mass extinction will take away with it many more species than before.

Perhaps more species will become extinct this time on Earth, not because the scale of warming is so great, but because the changes have happened so quickly that many species have not been able to adapt.“, the scientist explained.
