Climate change will have sent Earth on the way to its sixth mass extinction in less than a lifetime, new research warns.
By the year 2100, about 310 gigatons of carbon will have been added to the oceans - a potential 'tipping point' for ecological disaster, according to the study.
When CO2 dissolves into the ocean - as in the case of the End-Permian mass extinction - life on Earth is at risk.
Professor Daniel Rothman from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came up with a simple mathematical formula to predict when the next mass extinction would take place.
The formula predicts that by the end of the century oceans will hold enough carbon to launch a mass extermination of species in the future.
The model showed the critical extra amount required is about 310 gigatons, which is around the best case scenario projected by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
And it's well below the worst of more than 500 gigatons that would far exceed the line.
In all scenarios the study found by the end of the century the carbon cycle will either be close to, or well beyond, the threshold for catastrophe.

If that mass extinction includes Global Warming Scientists, I’m cool with it.
My advice to the left: hold your breath until you turn blue.
That’ll show us!
So this nimrod is predicting the next asteroid strike on earths surface
God is going to destroy the earth in its current form and remake it to a beautiful place where His children will dwell with Him and He with His children.
No liberal is going to stop Him.
Well that sucks. All this time I’ve been doing whatever it takes to save the planet, now only to find out it’s us humans that are going away.
One monstrous miscalculation:
As CO2 levels increase reproduction and overall volume of photosynthesis active life quickly increases, thus countering the higher levels of CO2.
Making CO2 input into the atmosphere sound like it’s radiation or pollution that doesn’t change away via photosynthesis is pure propaganda and scientism preying on the scientifically uneducated masses.
Pishposh.
Actually the speculation is that Daniel’s 70th week will begin around September 23rd. Given the way the world is progressing and now realizing that there is no “electing” our way out of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if this were true. But only the passage of time will tell!
If there are going to be six, why worry.
None of us are going to be there past #1.
Unless someone is lying....nah.
Sure, and Al Gore’s seaside mansions are all underwater...
If it takes out the Kim’s in N Korea and the Soros family, its a small price to pay, also the Magic Mullas in Persia
No carbon is being created or destroyed. Some of the earth's carbon MAY be found in a different location for a short span of time... and he wants to pretend that this is apocalyptic? ROFLMBO
Bunch of alarmist rump-tools.
Laughing My Fat White Straight Privileged Conservative Ass Off!!!
;^)
Sure glad we missed the 2005 one that was predicted.
It requires a Ph.D. to write something this stupid!
They have now learned to put their predictions outside the lifetime of most of their listeners
