Life in the oceans faces a mass die-off by 2300, rivalling the great extinctions of Earth's deep past if humanity fails to curb greenhouse gas emissions, scientists say
Under"business as usual" warming, marine ecosystems could see mass extinction comparable to that of end-Permian extinction, known as the"Great Dying", which occurred 250 million years ago, scientists say.
But limiting planetary heating to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels will stave off such a catastrophe, said the paper's authors, Justin Penn and Curtis Deutsch, both affiliated with the University of Washington and Princeton University on Thursday. This occurred 250 million years ago and led to the demise of more than two-thirds of marine animals, because of warming and oxygen depletion, similar conditions that are occurring today.While the tropical oceans would lose the most species, many from these areas would migrate to higher latitudes in order to survive.
