Humanity has a 95% probability of being extinct in 7,800,000 years, according to J. Richard Gott's formulation of the controversial Doomsday argument, which argues that we have probably already lived through half the duration of human history.
What species will go extinct due to climate change?
Staghorn Coral Staghorn Coral (Acropora Cevicornis) has experienced a population decline of over 80% since the 1970's, mostly due to climate change. It is listed as Critically Endangered on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
How many species will die because of climate change?
World biodiversity has declined alarmingly in half a century: more than 25,000 species, almost a third of those known, are in danger of disappearing. Climate change will be responsible for 8% of these.
How does changes in the environment may affect species extinction?
Climate change currently affects at least 10,967 species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, increasing the likelihood of their extinction. In addition to increased rates of disease and degraded habitats, climate change is also causing changes in species themselves, which threaten their survival.
