Humans May Go Extinct in the Near Future, Experts Determine
A recent study has revealed that carbon emissions reached a new historic level, with the same measurements being recorded some 66 million years ago, when numerous dinosaur species went extinct from the surface of the Earth.
Carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise, although at a slower pace than the previous years. Analysts have been digging through geological evidence in the hopes of finding a similar period in our planet’s history when the temperatures raised to a similar level, so they used sediment cores gathered from the New Jersey coast to inspect the isotope measurements.
The team of experts led by Richard Zeebe from the University of Hawaii discovered that an increase in carbon emissions and global warming occurred almost at the same time during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) period approximately 56 million years ago, in a time when the supercontinent Pangea started to divide into smaller continents.
Scientists consider the current climate changes to be similar to those happening during the PETM period, just that the current shift is happening at a more hasted pace.
