It means an accumulation of things such as climate changes, animal extinction threats, rising sea levels, ocean acidity, less saline density in the ocean, glacial melting, and less carbon sinks (deforestation) or reversal of sinks to sources, which according to the article below is based upon aerosols.
ENVIRONMENT
The cumulative effect of environmental threats like climate change, ocean acidification and overfishing, brings the world’s interconnected ocean close to a phase of extinction of marine species that is «globally significant» and unprecedented in human history, an international panel of marine scientists states.

For example, applying to our study region a species-area curve (R2 = 0.634)— based on the same set of mammal species (but replacing Brachyteles for Ateles)— that was empirically-derived at a largely non-hunted fragmented landscape in southern Brazilian Amazonia [19], resulted in the overall extinction of only 35.8 % of all populations, compared to 78.3 % documented here.
ENVIRONMENT
When I testified against the proposed Kingsnorth power plant, I estimated that in its lifetime it would be responsible for the extermination of about 400 species — its proportionate contribution to the number that would be committed to extinction if carbon dioxide rose another 100 ppm.

Hungry prehistoric hunters, not climate change, drove elephants and wooly mammoths to extinction during the Pleistocene era, new research suggests.

Lynas is particularly concerned about the loss of biodiversity, measurable by rates of extinction, which he argues is more important even than climate change.

emperor penguins could be headed toward extinction in at least part of their range before the end of the century.
ENVIRONMENT
To conclude, we show that herbivores can maintain plant diversity in warming tundra by alleviating light limitation and preventing extinctions of species characterized by short stature and slow growth.
SCIENCE
The team’s analysis published in full in the journal Science Advances has revealed that the episodes of mass extinction coincided with episodes of ocean anoxia, which resulted from changes in ocean circulation and nutrient levels in the Early Triassic.
ENVIRONMENT
An ecologist in Australia realized a database he was using to spot trends in extinction patterns was problematic, affecting two papers.
SCIENCE
you are correct but it was our country that did what was needed in order to bring them back from near extinction was it not?
RELIGION
Could a lack of essential trace elements in the world’s oceans be the cause of most of Earth’s mass extinctions?
SCIENCE
For projections of maximum expected climate change, we estimate species-level extinction across species included in the study to be 21â $ «32 % (range of the three methods) with universal dispersal, and 38â $ «52 % for no dispersal (Table 1).

ENVIRONMENT
The duration of the Permian extinction went from hundreds of thousands of years to tens of thousands and, finally, to just thousands.
SCIENCE
We are changing the climate by increasing the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; we’re reducing the planet’s biodiversity, causing what scientists fear may be the sixth mass extinction in its history; and terraforming Earth’s land surface with multiple megacities of concrete, steel and glass.

On December 28, 1973, President Richard Nixon signed the Endangered Species Act of 1973, a law in which the United States «pledged itself, as a sovereign state in the international community, to conserve to the extent practicable the various species of fish or wildlife and plants facing extinction.»

Such thinking — recently popularised by Timothy Morton’s book «Being Ecological» — has emerged partly from the environmental crises of the moment: climate change, mass extinction and widespread plastic pollution.
