Is there a Mass Extinction of living species upcoming?
Mass extinctions: number sixPalaeontologists recognize five major extinction events from the fossil record, with the most recent, the Cretaceous mass extinction, ending some 65 million years ago.Given the many species known to have disappeared in the past few thousand years, some biologists suggest that a sixth such event is now under way.Barnosky et al. set out to review the evidence for that claim, and conclude that the recent loss of species is dramatic and serious, but not yet in the mass extinction category - usually defined as a loss of at least 75% of Earth's species in a geologically short time frame.But that said, there are clear indications that the loss of species now classed as 'critically endangered' would soon propel the world into its sixth mass extinction.

How does global warming affect extinction?
Global warming changes natural habitats making them unliveable for many species ==== Global warming was the first effect identified that was shown to lead to species extinction events. For instance, a mountain frog would migrate from lower to higher elevations annually to survive. The species is now extinct because of global climate instability. The frog reached the top of the mountain and it was still too warm and their species died, all of them; extinct. There is a difference between Mass Extinction and Global Extinction. Mass Extinction is where a large percentage of a species dies. -- This is like a plague that wipes out 90% of a species Global Extinction is where the entire population of a species becomes extinct. -- This is like the mountain frog, it is completely extinct -- Melting of the Methane Permafrost could release enough methane to kill all humans Total Extinction is where all species globally become extinct; including ourselves. -- A large asteroid, black hole on a trajectory with our solar system, a near region super-nova, super-volcano eruption, abnormally large Solar Mass Ejection, ...

Effects on the environment when species extinct?
If a species goes extinct, anything it used to eat (be it plants or animals) now has one less predator and their numbers will increase. If they increase too much unchecked by their predators they may use too many resources and cause their own starvation. Another animal may start eating them, though -- since now they don't have to compete with the old species anymore. Also, any animal which was a predator to the now-extinct species has lost a food source. They may have to find something else to eat or starve themselves into extinction, too.
