Supercomputer Says 27% of Life on Earth Will Be Dead by the End of This Century
No matter how scientists queued up one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers, the results remained the same: Mass extinction of plants and animals isn’t slowing down. It’s only growing. A new study from a European Commission scientist and a professor from Australia modeled climate and land use changes and their impact on plant and animal species. The results are bleak: the supercomputer says 10 percent of all plant and animal species will disappear by 2050, and 27 percent of vertebrate diversity will vanish by 2100. Yeah, that’s over a quarter of our animals gone in about 75 years.
