Climate threat to biodiversity The last mass extinction wiped out one-fifth of life on Earth Global temperatures predicted for the coming centuries could trigger a mass extinction, UK scientists have warned. The temperatures are within the range of greenhouse phases early in the Earth's history when up to 95% of plants and animals died out, they say. Experts examined the link between climate and diversity over 520 million years, almost the entire fossil record. They found that global diversity is high during cool (icehouse) periods and low during warm (greenhouse) phases.
