The Sixth Extinction?
By: Anastasia Webb 
May 12, 2019 
In the 4.5 billions years Earth has been around, it has witnessed five mass extinctions. A mass extinction is the extinction of a large number of species within a relatively short period of geological time. Each of these extinctions are said to be caused by dramatic events that resulted in a sharp loss of the diversity on Earth. Many scientists believe that most of them resulted from meteorite impacts, massive volcanism, and other cataclysmic and natural forces. There are also people who think that we are amidst a 6th extinction that may have a lot to do with humans. 
The five mass extinctions are the End Ordovician, 444 millions years ago. It was responsible for the death of 86% of species. Late Devonian, 375 millions years ago, which killed off 75% of species. End Permian, 251 million years ago. During this extinction, 96% of species were lost. End Triassic that caused the death of 80% of species 200 millions years ago. The most recent mass extinction, End Cretaceous, killed off 76% of species 66 million years ago.  The most recent mass extinction is the one responsible for the death of the dinosaurs. Scientists are not 100% sure as to what causes these mass extinctions, but they are pretty sure it has a lot to do with rapid climate change. 
Climate change has been visible on Earth for years. It is an undeniable event that affects millions of species and humans on Earth. The climate is changing both naturally and because of humans, and it could be one of the causes of the next mass extinction. This one in particular is said to cause the extinction of a quarter of land animals, birds, and plants. It is much worse in 4 ways: the spread of non-native species around the world; humans taking over a significant percentage of the world’s primary production; human actions increasingly directing evolution; and the rise of something called the technosphere. Each of these things are the reason we could see a sixth mass extinction because they are not natural things that would normally happen on their own. 
We are currently seeing many rises in extinction rates across the globe. These rates are 10,000 times higher than they were before humans came along. Humans move animals out of their natural habitat, and these animals can become invasive and drive the native species of animals to extinction. Another way humans are having impacts on Earth is by chopping down forests and burning fossils fuels. Burning fossil fuels warms up Earth’s atmosphere and this changing temperature causes animals to adapt to new climate. If they cannot adapt, they die off.  The road to the sixth extinction can be put to an end. It is not inevitable and it does not need to happen. 
Due to many changes in Earth’s climate by burning fossil fuels, , animals being transported around the world, and deforestation, our world may be on the road to a sixth extinction that could have the biggest impact we have ever seen. Because of all of these changes, extinction rates are 10,000 times higher than they ever have been. Works Cited

Vernacular 
Technosphere – The part of the environment where technodiversity extends its influence into the biosphere
Climate Change – a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
Diversity – a range of different things
Fossil Fuels – a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms 
Evolution – the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
