"We know that these catastrophic events ... shift the landscape of what life looks like. When the environment warms that fast, animals and plants can't keep pace with it."
"At its hottest, the study suggests, the Earth's average temperature reached 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit ... far higher than the historic 58.96 F the planet hit last year."
"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 percent of all species."
"At no point in the nearly half-billion years that Judd and her colleagues analyzed did the Earth change as fast as it is changing now."
