Are we now entering a mass extinction event? What can mass
extinctions in Earth's history tell us about the Anthropocene? What
do mass extinction events look like and how does life on Earth
recover from them? The fossil record reveals periods when
biodiversity exploded, and short intervals when much of life was
wiped out in mass extinction events. In comparison with these
ancient events, today's biotic crisis hasn't (yet) reached the
level of extinction to be called a mass extinction. But we are
certainly in crisis, and current parallels with ancient mass
extinction events are profound and deeply worrying. Humanity's
actions are applying the same sorts of pressures - on similar
scales - that in the past pushed the Earth system out of
equilibrium and triggered mass extinction events. Analysis of the
fossil record suggests that we still have some time to avert this
disaster: but we must act now.
