Scientists Predict Mass Extinction Could Be Triggered By 2100 by Ben Renner
BOSTON Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) predict that by 2100, the earths oceans will contain so much carbon that a sixth mass extinction will begin.
This is not saying that disaster occurs the next day, explains Daniel Rothman, a professor of geophysics in the MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, about his recent study in a media release. Its saying that, if left unchecked, the carbon cycle would move into a realm which would be no longer stable, and would behave in a way that would be difficult to predict. In the geologic past, this type of behavior is associated with mass extinction.
Over the past 540 million years, Earth has been through five mass extinctions. Each event, according to scientists, was precipitated by events that disrupted or upended the natural cycling of carbon through the oceans and atmosphere. These global carbon cycle disruptions each took thousands or millions of years, and coincided with each massive die-off of many of the planets species.
Climatologists and other scientists have long speculated that the carbon cycle of our modern age is being fatally disrupted. The main difference between carbon cycle disruptions of the past and now, of course, is time. Carbon levels have only been rising precipitously for the past 100 to 150 years, hardly comparable to disruptions of ancient times.

Exactly...if it is not impossible COULD happen. According to the laws of thermodynamics...it could freeze at the equator on any given day.
Researchers + Magic 8 ball = DOOM
Same ones who stated in the 70’s new ice age nearing.
Roll the dice.
Thank you Sir!

They'll never admit they were wrong. Glaciers could be moving across the country, and they'd stick to the claims of their cult.
So much for MIT.
Total BS. Thanks Sub-Driver.

It won’t be carbon that would cause mass extinction. It would be man, in particular man apart from God. The Bible says that if Jesus doesn’t come back exactly when He does all flesh will be gone. Jesus comes back in time to save man and all flesh from man who tries to rule the world apart from God.
Also, man and all flesh is digressing on a genetic level. Nothing man can do can stop our genetic demise. Thank The LORD only He can and He will.
And I will turn over in my grave.
