Humanity faces mass extinction

Civilisation is on the verge of extinction. Scientists are sounding the alarm - the world is on the verge of global extinction, the biggest since the dinosaurs. A climate crisis is underway that threatens to destroy civilisation due to melting ice and exponential sea level rise.

Humanity is destroying wildlife, and the consequences may be inevitable. The data from the World Wildlife Fund is shocking: over the past 50 years, the number of flora and fauna has decreased by 69%. BGR claims that we may soon witness the end of civilisation.

When mass extinction can happen

Since the 1960s, American biologist Paul Ehrlich has been warning that overpopulation of the planet will provoke mass starvation. He argues that "the end of civilisation as we know it is approaching". According to him, the "end" could come in the coming decades.

Humans are accelerating the rate of extinction, and it is highly likely that the world we know and the current society will soon collapse.

Even if a fraction of the world's population survives the ongoing mass extinctions, civilisation as we know it will no longer exist. The threat to life on the planet is growing rapidly. By mass extinction, scientists mean a situation where more than 75% of known species disappear.

Tony Barnosky, a biologist at Stanford University, said that "the Earth is experiencing the worst episode of mass extinction we have seen since the dinosaurs.

Scientists say that civilisation has reached a critical "now or never" point. Measures to save the planet should be taken immediately.

Earlier, OBOZREVATEL reported that previous extinctions were caused by natural disasters. Now, humanity may have to survive the sixth mass extinction of its own making.
