New research has found that extreme climate change risks an extinction effect that could annihilate all life on earth.
The extinction of plant and animal species from extreme climate change could lead to a "domino effect" that annihilates all life on earth, new research has found.
The worst-case scenario is outlined in the journal Scientific Reports and describes how organisms die out because they depend on other doomed species in a process called co-extinctions.
The study found just five to six degrees in average global warming would be enough to wipe out most life on the planet.
