Asia has been affected by climate change from 34 million years ago

The cold climate devastated the forests and forced many animals to move south.

At 34 million years ago, the cold and dry climate combined with fluctuations in the stratigraphic structure of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau destroyed many of the great tropical forests in Asia. This is the result of a multi-year study by paleontologist Xijun Ni and colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences based in Beijing. This phenomenon caused primates to rush south. So in Asia this is very scarce of fossils of the ape and primate.

"A number of important milestones in the evolution of gibbon into humans have been discovered in Africa instead of Asia. Until now we still cannot explain this strange phenomenon," the paleontologist K. Christopher Beard and the co-author of the study said.

The scarcity of primate fossils in Asia is still a mystery without solution. Meanwhile, only the Egyptian region has found many primate fossils dating from about 37 to 30 million years.

And scientists now argue that it is because of environmental change that primate species are forced to migrate towards Asia from Africa.

Excavations that lasted from 2008-2014 in southern China found 48 teeth and some jaw bone fragments belonging to six different primates. The results of geological research also show that this region has a special geographical structure, making a small forest flap survive in the harsh environment at that time.

In the Devon century 360 million years ago, environmental change also caused terrible consequences. The rapid growth of plants has reduced CO ₂ , causing the climate to become colder, many unsuitable organisms have been destroyed.

Marine creatures are the main victims: coral reefs - the home of mass die-off marine life that extends the extinction of many species. It is estimated that about 19% of them, 50% of genera and 70% of species have been destroyed during this extinction.

At the moment, climate change appears again and brings unpredictable consequences.

The process of climate change on Earth can mass extinction species.

Canadian scientists said that the process of climate change on Earth could cause mass extinction species such as a collapsed domino chain, the first is human unsustainable activities.

"We have seen birds, animals, insects, even plants migrate elsewhere," said ecologist Jeremy Kerr. "But many species do not migrate fast enough to avoid the danger of extinction."

"The predictions of a rapid extinction, mass seems to be true," Kerr said. Last year, the Millennium Biological Assessment (MA) project warned: 30% of the organisms on Earth will disappear by 2050 if countries continue to release greenhouse gases into the environment.
