Grandiose mass extinction comparable only to extinction dinosaurs could threaten the Earth in the coming decades, reports Nature magazine. Mass extinctions of the living have already happened on our planet, and more than once – there were as many as five in the history of the Earth, and each time a significant percentage of existing species of flora was lost and fauna. This is a catastrophic event, not inferior in strength to a fall an asteroid that destroyed 65 million years ago dinosaurs. The difference is that now people themselves will be to blame for one of the largest extinction of life on the planet. Scientists make predictions according to which in the next century the Earth will lose 41% of amphibians, 26% mammals and 13% of birds. “The destruction of the natural habitat, pollution and excess fishing, like any other the destruction of living things and plants, greatly weakened survival their species, ”says marine ecologist Derek Tittenson. the disappearance of many living things is just an additional threat, associated with ongoing climate deterioration in the future can lead to the extinction of all remaining creatures on Earth.
