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. There's been five mass extinctions, and they've had different causes, but there's been one common factor in all of them: a massive increase in carbon dioxide. And you've never had a carbon dioxide spike like is happening now

A mass extinction is driven by a change of the environment
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.966
And we are changing the environment precisely
00:00:08.999 --> 00:00:10.927
along the lines that can trigger off
00:00:11.052 --> 00:00:12.345
one of these great catastrophes
00:00:15.724 --> 00:00:17.684
There's been five mass extinctions
00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:19.686
and they've had different causes
00:00:20.103 --> 00:00:23.857
but there's been one common factor in all
00:00:26.192 --> 00:00:29.154
A massive increase in carbon dioxide
00:00:30.905 --> 00:00:33.116
And we've never had a carbon dioxide spike
00:00:33.199 --> 00:00:34.492
like what's happening now
