The most accurate response to how climate change today is similar to the major K-Pg extinction event that ended the reign of the dinosaurs is:
**Individuals that can’t adapt are dying, and species are going extinct.**
This response highlights the challenge that both current climate change and the K-Pg event pose to species that cannot adapt to rapidly changing conditions, leading to extinctions.
**Individuals that can’t adapt are dying, and species are going extinct.**
This response highlights the challenge that both current climate change and the K-Pg event pose to species that cannot adapt to rapidly changing conditions, leading to extinctions.
