A new study says that by the end of the century, 1 in 6 animals will be extinct. However, this study only considers temperature changes and doesn’t take into account carbon emission or pollution (factors that would speed up this process). And it won’t be as bad in North America or Europe where only 1 in 20 animals will go extinct, so I doubt our government is going to be enforcing any new laws to prevent this outcome. The study says that this pattern of extinction will likely be due to animals attempting to escape rising temperatures and sea levels, but eventually having nowhere to go.
