| S.Peelman said: The Earth recovered from five extinction events in its history already so what’s one more. Some extremely severe. That this latest epoch has been so super stable is cosmic luck basically. By now 99.9% of all species that ever lived are extinct and we didn’t have anything to do with about 99.85% plus. Might we be a part of such an event? Who knows. Our existence as a species is but a blink on the life of this planet anyway. Now that doesn’t mean I say let’s all just dump plastic in the sea and do tractor pulling en masse though. |
It might be even more extinction events that we don't have enough evidence of. But yeah, the biosphere will keep going. But in a major extinction event humanity is likely to go as well. I think this is what some people worry about.
