It's too hot for camels to survive.
“Experts say camels comfortably beat the heat up to 40°C… (but) in many parts of the Sahara, summer temperatures now frequently exceed 50°C… (and) the unprecedented intensity of current heatwaves directly threatens their vital functions, turning this historically resilient animal into a climate victim”.

@greenpeace It gets far worse when studies show overlapping biomes, such as air, water, land/forests, are more in sync in accelerating destabilization, resulting in eventual collapse.
The jury is out on this being a 1 in 100 #MassExtinction event.

Activities force climate shifts, which in turn disable life.
Some mitigation could be envisaged:
"Maintaining functioning ecosystems in a hotter world will require mass-scale assisted colonisation, so appropriate conservation policy, legislative frameworks and regulating bodies must be urgently developed."

"I synthesized 485 studies and more than 5 million projections to produce a quantitative global assessment of climate change extinctions.
"With increased certainty, this meta-analysis suggests that extinctions will accelerate rapidly if global temperatures exceed 1.5°C. "

Uh oh...
"The biggest mass extinction of all time started from a world that is very similar to today in having a relatively cool, relatively well-oxygenated ocean, and then there was a giant injection of carbon dioxide into the Earth system,"

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ☄️🔥 A recent study from #Purdue suggests fine dust from the #Chicxulub impact trapped heat in the upper #atmosphere, effectively charbroiling exposed organisms within hours.
Post-impact dust would have delivered 17 times the lethal #radiation dose for #humans, igniting #grass and #lichen across the #planet.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🌸🌿 #Utrecht University researchers studied drill cores from the #UK and Northwest #Europe to track #wildfires during the end-Triassic #extinction 201 million years ago.
Using a new darkness index on #fossil pollen and a fern-to-fern #fire cycle, they found that #CO2-driven #warming collapsed #forests and let #ferns fuel intense repeated burns for up to 300,000 years. The ferns acted as both disaster colonizers and self-perpetuating wildfire fuel.

There is a layer in Late Triassic rocks in Europe called ‘the dark zone’, because it's full of darkening of pollen and spores. Its origin is in forest collapse and intense fires during the end-Triassic mass extinction.

Let's say something killed ~90% of life on a planet, like in the Great Dying here on Terra. How long is it going to take the ecology to recover, and where will it start? (~5Myr and surprisingly heavy on the top of the food chain).
