The report concluded that global warming of 2 °C (3.6 °F) over the preindustrial levels would threaten an estimated 5% of all the Earth's species with extinction even in the absence of the other four factors, while if the warming reached 4.3 °C (7.7 °F), 16% of the Earth's species would be threatened with extinction.
The hunts described in the study, published Friday in the journal “Frontiers in Marine Science,” occurred between 2018 and 2024 and were captured in images and videos taken by scientists and ...
A 2018 study published in Science found that global orca populations are poised to dramatically decline due such toxic pollution. [ 162 ] [ 163 ] In the Pacific Northwest , wild salmon stocks, a main resident food source, have declined dramatically in recent years. [ 3 ]
The following day (10 May), Jason Samenow wrote in The Washington Post that the spiral graph was "the most compelling global warming visualization ever made", [27] and, likewise, former Climate Central senior science writer Andrew Freedman wrote in Mashable that it was "the most compelling climate change visualization we’ve ever seen".

An endangered orca vanished from a dwindling whale pod off the Washington coast, a conservation group said. The missing Southern Resident killer whale, K-26, was not seen by researchers during an ...
In 2004, the results were published of the first worldwide assessment of amphibian populations, the Global Amphibian Assessment. This found that 32% of species were globally threatened, at least 43% were experiencing some form of population decrease, and that between 9 and 122 species have become extinct since 1980. [3]
In 1987, killer whales in Puget Sound donned salmon “hats,” carrying dead fish on their heads. Now, a photo of an orca has observers wondering if the trend has returned. A recent orca sighting ...
The 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report concluded that over the last three decades human-induced warming had likely had an influence on many biological systems. [25] [26] [27] The Sixth Assessment Report found that half of all species with long-term data had shifted their ranges poleward (or upward for mountain species).
