The inhabitants of the Earth are waiting for another mass extinction. The upcoming " Biogeosciences writes about this on Monday, August 1, citing a study by Japanese climatologist Kunio Kaiho.

The publication writes that the expert made his conclusions on the basis of data on global temperature, temperatures of the Earth and land during periods of past extinctions, including data on species that disappeared then..

In addition to the six largest extinction periods - the Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, Cretaceous-Paleogene and the current Holocene, Kaiho also considered not the largest mass extinctions of species.

A comparative analysis of these figures showed that the number of dead species linearly depends on temperature anomalies in their habitat..

After analyzing the information, he came to the conclusion that the temperature on Earth will rise to a critical level by the year 2500..

In the study, he pointed out that earlier extinctions were slower and temperatures could rise over millennia.. now, destructive processes are happening much faster, which "

"

Recall that plant growth has accelerated in Antarctica due to climate change, which indicates a serious threat to the fragile ecosystem of the region..
