    The problem is humanity is taking most of the other species in the world with it. Just the methane/permafrost feedback loop out of dozens of feedback loops will usher in the level of warming and ensuing extinctions experienced during the Permian/Triassic die off.

    The ruling elite are incinerating all of us for profit, and they don’t give a shit.

      It’ll just be another chapter in Earth’s history. We’re not the first life form to have caused an extinction event due to radically changing Earth’s atmosphere.

      What it would prove to us, however, is that; despite our massive ego, we (humanity) are no better than, or more above the laws of nature than, those first single-celled organisms that radically changed Earth’s atmosphere to one of oxygen. Yet monumentally less significant in our footprint.
