5 Mass Extinctions, and We're Looking at the Sixth

There have been five mass extinctions that our planet witnessed in the last half a billion years, not just one. And we can be nearing the sixth one, where one of the species to possibly disappear is humans. The previous extinctions happened for several reasons: changes in temperature, volcano activity, changes in the sea level, and a lack of oxygen in the oceans... The good thing is, mass extinctions always happened over a span of several million years, not like shown in movies where disasters happen overnight. So we might still have time to recognize it, prepare, and counteract it.

Nobody talks about the actual first mass extinction… when all live on earth was microscopic, the life forms were producing far too much oxygen. This made the living environments unlivable to most life at the time.

[chuelor]

Its funny that no one really takes these things serious until it really happens..

[fedassignment]

It is sad that the world we live in is polluted. I really pray and hope for more protection and awareness

[SubaruWRC]

To be honest I think the planet will be happier once we're gone.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate how much effort he puts into his videos ❤🎉

[XUTTERSCOTCHX]

Us as humans, we are the sixth extinction and we don’t know it, we are the extinction to all the other plants and animals of the world

[TheSwanlake]

I think out of all the creatures in the Earth history I think humans is the far most adaptable

[mikeburkhart]

Can't happen soon enough, humanity has it coming.

[coreyhill]

If the people on the planet start being environmental, then probably save this planet

[Horst]

How i wish the asteroid that whiped out the dinosaurs would have missed earth.
Humanity is the worst this planet could have happened.

[terrychambers]

We don't need any help, we're doing just fine on our own. One species at a time, until there is nothing left .

[Mikey-wfpy]

Be honored. You got to be here and grateful and then realized that you're the reason for the future life

[pip]

Being environmentally friendly is possible but having sticky fingers on a certain button doesn't help mankind.!

[snugger]

Maybe one life is enough and I had to live it

[merrygwolf]

Amazing how they know something happened millions of years ago.

[Come-What-May]

Long overdue, really.
To think it can't happen again, or to us, is foolish.

[lesleytenshigaming]

History always repeat itself it will happen again one day

[zaraizara]

6th extinction would be the rise of ai replacing human.

[trevor.]

Isn't the Ice age is caused by the Milankovitch cycle where the Earth moves out of its axis and further away from the sum?
