[ Will global biodiversity collapse in 2019? ] A  recent study  created a dataset of plant temperature tolerances with a median upper tolerance limit of 23.7°C. This temperature is about 10°C higher than the temperature in the year 1750. Only during times of mass extinctions were temperatures that high, such as during the PETM , 55.5 million years ago, and the Permian–Triassic extinction event , 252 million years ago, also know as the Great Dying when some 95% of species known from fossils went extinct. [ image from: How much warmer is it now? ] The study concludes that extinction will already occur far earlier than when upper tolerance levels are reached, as " loss of one species can make more species disappear (a process known as ‘co-extinction’), and possibly bring entire systems to an unexpected, sudden regime shift, or even total collapse. " There was a small group of species with large tolerance limits and remarkable resistance to environmental change, but even they co...
