Polar species are also likely to go globally extinct.
, states that the emission of massive volumes of human greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is fundamentally changing the Earth's climate system.
These unprecedented changes are putting many species at risk of extinction. In order to unearth the stark reality of the situation, a team of researchers, Justin Penn and Curtis Deutsch, utilized extensive ecophysiological modeling that weighed a species’ physiological limits against projected marine temperature and oxygen conditions to assess the likelihood of extinction for marine species under various climate warming scenarios.
Penn and Curtis have discovered that if global temperatures continue to rise at their current rates, marine ecosystems around the world are likely to experience mass extinctions comparable to the size and severity of the end-Permian extinction, the"Great Dying". Said extinction occurred roughly 250 million years ago and, 83 percent of genera, 81 percent of marine species, and 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrate species.
