Extinction through global heating
mercredi 15 juin 2016 à 02:00A new kind achievement for humanity: we have caused the extinction of a mammalian species indirectly through global heating alone.
When the other ways we destroy species are included, our record includes over 450 species of vertebrates extinguished by human action since 1900.
Scientists estimate that 1/6 of the existing species face extinction due to global heating.
