Mass Extinction Climate Change

The worst mass extinction in Earth's history, 250 million years ago, was triggered by extreme El Niño events and volcanic eruptions in Siberia. These eruptions released vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing severe climate changes. The warming environment led to the death of 90% of species on land and in the oceans. While this...

Environmental campaign group Extinction Rebellion on Friday began four days of action in London, promising less disruption and more inclusion than the mass blockades that became its trademark.

Research by a professor emeritus in Japan has revealed that mass extinctions increase in proportion to climate change. The evidence revealed by the study shows a high correlation between the size of mass extinctions and historical fluctuations in the Earth's temperature.

Have humans damaged the Earth's ecosystems so severely that we're well on our way to the biggest mass extinction since the dinosaurs vanished 66 million years ago? And are we running out of time to reverse the negative impacts of our actions?

So for one hour tonight, at 8.30, people are asked to turn off their lights. It's Earth Hour, and in the last ten years, this initiative by the WWF is perhaps the world's largest environment event encompassing 7,000 towns and cities and millions of people. The initiative was started as an awareness campaign on climate change. While that is still th...

Climate change and high rates of extinctions of animals and plants are pushing the Earth into a danger zone for humanity, a scientific report card about mankind's impact on nature said on Thursday.

Archaeologists have debunked the cosmic-impact theory that a comet sparked climate change at the end of the Ice Age, causing mass animal extinction.
