A SCIENTIST declared during a documentary that the world is deep into the sixth mass extinction event, which may be “too late” to change.
An extinction or biotic crisis is a widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity on Earth.
Such an event is identified by a sharp change in the abundance of multicellular organisms.
Most biologists agree there have been five mass extinction events in history, with the most well-known occurring 66 million years ago, when the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid.
However, Professor
Katrin Meissner, Director of the Climate Research Centre, in Australia,
believes we are deep in the sixth, and it may be too late to turn back.
Speaking during Amazon Primes “The Next Great Extinction Event” last year, she explained how the planet will be affected.
She said: “For humans, I think we are very vulnerable right now and there’s a lot of humans on this Earth.
“We all depend on a few, several belts, a few regions that produce most of our food.
.
“We depend on water.
“With changing climates, preoccupation patterns will change and temperature will, of course, change.
“These structures put in place over the last 20 years, will they work? I think that’s highly questionable.”
Dr Meissner claimed we may be able to slow the process, but potentially it is too late to stop the inevitable.
She added: “On top of that, we will see sea levels rise and all these things will still happen if we stop emitting right now.
