The Sixth Extinction Is Coming. Are we Too Late?

Hunted, exploited, poisoned, forced to live in increasingly cramped territories...
We're talking about animals, regardless of the species they belong to. Whether they are emotionally close living beings like mammals and vertebrates, or grasshoppers, spiders, and ants... they are all facing extinction.
Similarly, all environmental indicators are loudly telling us that we are heading towards a planetary catastrophe. Or more precisely, towards the "Sixth Mass Extinction."

Below we barely mention a few examples, not even among the most significant, because, as we are about to see, the disappearance of insects, which serve as food for birds, is also much more serious than the disappearance of more emotionally engaging species such as wolves or whales. .
But hey, it's also necessary to make an impact on those who are listening, right?
Ok… In less than a century, the elephant population in Africa has declined from 12 million individuals to 415,000 individuals reported in the latest census of 2019.
The African lion survives in only 10% of its historical range, and in 100 years, the population has dropped from 200,000 to less than 20,000 individuals, a staggering 90% decline.

The problem with climate change is that we don't register much change until a number of tipping points is reached and surpassed. After that, change will go so fast that many plants and animals will no longer be able to adapt fast enough and biodiversity will suffer. Is climate change misused by those in power to make more money and get more power, yes. Are the fossil fuel companies and those dependent on them very active with a misinformation campaign, Yes. Should that be a reason to not take climate change seriously, NO. Not as long as all evidence points to an ever-increasing speed of global warming.

All because of humans. We're going to get what we deserve.

10:14 you got my sub, it is rare in this time of absolute cooperative mass manipulation campaign committed by the global political, mainstream and corporate interests against the people that anyone on these platforms has the courage to tell the truth, especially about climate change.

I thought we WERE ALREADY IN the sixth extinction. I advise everyone listen to George Carlin.

[mikeburkhart]

No...mankind will just blunder along as if nothing's wrong until it's too late, then we will cry about how unfair it is as we pass into our own created oblivion.

A sad video. Humanity is ruining this planet.

The climate change issue is a dicey subject. Seen by many as a way of promoting corporate greed. Then by others as a problem that if dealt with quickly and dramatically can be avoided or at least delayed.
It seems to me that many of the changes it is inspiring are in the long term a productive thing. The production of energy is critical to our civilization. This produces more than just climate changes it also promotes poor health, due to pollution of air and water. It advances a unequal distribution of resources. It really promotes many bad things. It is also using all of a resource that is critical for more than just the production of energy. So advancing the new ideas may or may not slow or solve climate change. Yet many of the changes it has and will inspire are necessary regardless. Change is hard it is scary stepping into the unknown. It is in my opinion better to do it in a slow controlled manner than out of desperation. The changes are coming we can make them work for us or we can fight kicking screaming all the way.
As far as the greed that is being promoted in the name of climate change, sure that is happening. Name anything on the same level that is not done the same way. Tell me the current energy producers dont lead with the greed. Cuz your kidding yourself. Believe don't believe it doesn't really matter it needs to happen.
