In just 50 years’ time, a third of all plant and animal species on our planet could be wiped out due to man-made climate change , US scientists have warned. The damning new study of humanity’s impact on ecosystems around the world examined recent extinctions due to climate change, along with rates of species movement and various projections of future climatic conditions. The researchers said their study is probably the first to estimate broad-scale extinction patterns due to the climate crisis by using data from recent climate-related extinctions and from rates of species movements. It is the latest research to paint a bleak picture of future biodiversity on Earth, as other scientists have warned our species is responsible for bringing about a sixth mass extinction event. The research team, from the University of Arizona used data from 538 species at 581 sites around the globe and focused on species which had been studied at the same place at least … [Read more...] about Climate crisis: One-third of all plant and animal species could be extinct in 50 years, study suggests

The floodwaters are coming for us. Sea levels are rising faster and could swell one to two metres in the next 80 years if greenhouse gas emissions are not swiftly reined in, according to the latest research by UN scientists. It means we are currently on track for many people alive today to see several of the world’s major cities, including London, New York, Shanghai, Los Angeles, largely lost beneath the waves, while the world would lose 1.79 million sq km of land - an area roughly the size of Libya. In Europe, the Netherlands is particularly at risk, with a third of the country already lying below sea level. So what can be done? One mega-infrastructure scheme put up for discussion by a Dutch government scientist suggests addressing the issue in northern Europe by damming in the entire North Sea. This would require the construction of two dams of unprecedented scale. The smaller of the two would be around 100 miles long and block the entire western end … [Read more...] about Climate crisis: Plan to dam entire North Sea could protect millions from rising oceans
