Modern humanity lives in the era of the sixth species extinction
Humanity is in the midst of a sixth mass extinction event – a man-made extinction event. Global warming, which causes abnormal weather phenomena, is to blame for the mass death of animals. People make no less of a “contribution” to the global extinction of species. A team of EU scientists came to this latest sad conclusion, confirming the conclusion of their colleagues from America – man is to blame.
Humanity lives in a new geological era – the Anthropocene
In 2011, Nobel laureates concluded that the term “Anthropocene” could be a useful way to describe and summarize the situation in which we find ourselves. The journal Nature has also proposed it as a convenient means by which to integrate and make sense of information about what is happening on our planet.
