The two are very closely tied together and depend on the precise nature of the environmental change. The slower a species breeds, the less likely it is to have recovered enough variation for their population density to survive successive changes. The industrial revolution saw unprecedented changes in air, water, and biomes only to be followed by the mass human expansion of the 20th century which further strained ecosystems simply due to the sheer scale of it.
I fear the majority of species will not be able to survive the third event.
