"If you really lived during the Cretaceous Period, you’d be fortunate. The period we live in now is far more frightening. Right now, species on Earth are going extinct far faster than during the late Cretaceous. Now is truly the age of mass extinctions! So, my child, what you’re seeing is nothing. This is only an insignificant episode in a much vaster process." - The Three Body Problem
TBF the sixth mass extinction began 50,000 years ago... We have never been sustainable, from the very start of our species. Let's make our best to change that though.
Again?!
