By the end of the century, 97% of animal and plant species may die in Antarctica.

Due to the warming of the planet by the year 2100 in Antarctica, in the worst case, 97% of animal and plant species may disappear. Under the most favorable scenario - 37%, under the most probable scenario - 65%. Australian biologists came to such conclusions. Antarctica is home to two flowering plants, mosses, lichens, numerous microorganisms and invertebrates such as roundworms, and hundreds of thousands of seabirds, including emperor and Adélie penguins. The latter are in the most vulnerable position.
