  The concentration of CO2 in today's atmosphere corresponds to a decline in fossil biodiversity of 6.39%, implying that current human-induced emissions of CO2 are killing ocean life now.

  It then shows that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is correlated discernibly with percent genus loss and uses simple regression models to quantify the relationship.
