Climate change can completely destroy life on Earth

The extinction of plant and animal species due to major environmental changes increases the risk of "domino extinction effect", which could completely destroy life on the planet, revealed a new study Tuesday.

The worst case scenario, that is, the death of an organism due to its dependence on another type of dead organism, is based on a study of more than 2 000 land scenarios in the case of a series of catastrophic events, including global warming or the impact of asteroids.

The study, published Tuesday in the journal "Scientific Reports," concluded that environmental changes could eventually lead to the end of life on Earth.

For example, plants pollinated by bees will inevitably die if the bees are extinguished.

The Italian researcher Giovanni Struna, lead author of the study, explains that, all species being linked to a vital network, "even the most tolerant species eventually disappear, when the less tolerant species disappear and depend on the species. ;them."
