Stanford study shows ocean biomass has risen over 540 million years, linking biodiversity to long-term ecosystem health.

In a first-of-its-kind study, Stanford researchers have measured how the abundance of ocean life has changed over the past ...

A popular climate science graph showing Earth's 485-million-year temperature history is often misinterpreted by skeptics, according to climate scientist Zeke Hausfather (@hausfath) on X. In a detailed ...

"The timeline illustrates how swift and dramatic temperature shifts were associated with many of the world's worst moments — including a mass extinction that wiped out roughly 90% of all species," the ...

Experts have put the normal extinction rate for the planet at between 0.1 and 1 species per 10,000 species/100 years. A mass extinction event is quite different.

After publishing a graph of global temperature increases, Cristi Proistosescu, a Climate Dynamics professor at the University ...
