John Veron: A mass extinction is driven by a change in the environment. And we are changing the environment precisely along the lines that can trigger off one of these great catastrophes.

A mass extinction is driven by a change of the environment
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.964
and we are changing the environment precisely
00:00:08.009 --> 00:00:10.925
along the lines that can trigger off
00:00:11.051 --> 00:00:12.343
one of these great catastrophes
00:00:15.723 --> 00:00:17.682
There's been five mass extinctions
00:00:18.058 --> 00:00:19.684
and they've had different causes
00:00:20.102 --> 00:00:23.855
but there's been one common factor in all
00:00:26.191 --> 00:00:29.152
a massive increase
00:00:30.905 --> 00:00:33.114
And we've never had a carbon dioxide spike
00:00:33.198 --> 00:00:34.049
like what's happening now
