or is extinction the common thread of all history?
do you people actually believe in science, or are you all just muh feels? because science shows in every field capable of measuring evidence that the earth has changed, and will continue to change.
it takes such a closed minded, egotistical and arrogant viewpoint to think that human beings could be so powerful as to overwhelm the natural systems that have survived millions of years.
it takes an actual immeasurable amount of ego and arrogance to think we could even know if we're overwhelming the natural systems after we've only been measuring out influence on the environment for the last hundred years (and really only with any accuracy for the last fifty)
and lastly, do you think every extinct species has left behind evidence it lived in the fossil record? do you even understand how species proliferate and how paleontology classifies the different forms of life it tries to document?
>annihilate a lot of current species. We're already in the middle of an anthropocene extinction. welcome to the constant of life. death.
and before you try to move the goal posts and say, "oh but we do have SOME impact, i'm not pretending we're gods" just take a fucking minute and go read what other people write about global warming. read or listen to how politicians talk about it. read your own post where you attempt to paint this not as a manageable change that we can mitigate helpfully for ourselves, but instead something laughable reminiscent to a "HOLLYWOOD WILL BE UNDERWATER IN 2012!!!"
fucking brainlet bootlickers who call themselves scientists. you're all nothing but snake oil salesmen who profit off of nostradamus-like prophecy. i remember when the big deal in 'science' was food shortages and world starvation. ever hear about that anymore? no? that's right. i wonder how long it will be before a bunch of newfag 'scientists' discover the next hot topic to squeeze taxpayers out of grant money.
