Scientists have predicted will happen when the sixth mass extinction
Scientists have predicted will happen when the sixth mass extinction Scientists from mit have calculated that by 2100 the oceans may accumulate a quantity of carbon sufficient for the death of living beings. Their findings the researchers presented in the pages of Science Advances. Over the past 540 million years, the Earth has experienced five mass extinctions. During each of these, the normal cycle of carbon in the atmosphere and oceans violated. The researchers analyzed changes in the carbon cycle over the past 540 million years. They identified the valid values, in case of exceeding of which the carbon cycle became unstable, and living creatures died. Researchers believe that mass extinction will occur if the carbon cycle will change faster, than he will be able to adapt to the ecosystem. “Given the recent rise in carbon emissions in a relatively short period of time, the fate of the sixth mass
