In this Our Changing Climate video essay, I look at the looming threat of species extinction and biodiversity collapse. Specifically, I uncover the extent of the sixth mass extinction. What it is and how bad it's happening. Then, I work through the key drivers of the acceleration of species die-offs across the planet. I look at how climate change and land use change (read: deforestation) have destructive consequences for the biodiversity climate. Finally, the video dives into the capitalist forces driving this mass extinction event.

Correction:
0:34 - The introduction of invasive species, which out-competed the Dodo for food and ate smaller Dodos, were a major factor in the bird's demise.
