#massextinction — Public Fediverse posts

There is a layer in Late Triassic rocks in Europe called ‘the dark zone’, because it's full of darkening of pollen and spores. Its origin is in forest collapse and intense fires during the end-Triassic mass extinction.

Let's say something killed ~90% of life on a planet, like in the Great Dying here on Terra. How long is it going to take the ecology to recover, and where will it start? (~5Myr and surprisingly heavy on the top of the food chain).

#Vance says we should build houses on #FederalLand to solve the #HousingCrisis. Name one competitive housing market with any federal land to speak of. I can count them on one hand. Opening imperiled #forest and #desert #habitat to exploitation by #RealEstate developers, further enclosing and privatizing the #commons, (1) won’t solve the housing crisis, but (2) will accelerate the #biodiversity and #MassExtinction crises.

#ThackerPass #Protectors File First-Ever '#BiodiversityNecessityDefense' in #Nevada Court

While pursuing a '#ClimateNecessityDefense,' and making allegations that #mining company has violated their rights, their attorney said, 'They’re not criminals; they’re heroes.'

Bhie-Cie Zahn-Nahtzu: “#LithiumNevada is a #greedy #corporation on the wrong side of history when it comes to #EnvironmentalRacism and desecration of #SacredSites. It’s ironic to me that I’m the trespasser because I want to see my ancestral land preserved.”

By #ProtectThackerPass, #CensoredNews, March 26, 2024

"In a first for the American legal system, the lawyers for six people sued by Lithium Nevada Corporation for protesting the Thacker Pass mine are arguing a ‘biodiversity necessity defense.’

"The necessity defense is a legal argument used to justify breaking the law when a greater harm is being prevented; for example, breaking a car window to save an infant locked inside on a stifling hot day, or breaking down a door to help someone screaming inside a locked home. In these cases, trespassing is justified to save a life.
.
"This week’s filing states: 'Defendants possessed an actual belief that their acts of protest were necessary to prevent the present, continuing harms and evils of #ecocide and irreversible #ClimateChange.'

"'We’re in the midst of the 6th #MassExtinction of life on Earth, and it’s being caused by human activities like mining,' said attorney Terry Lodge, who is representing the #protesters. 'Our lives are made possible by #biodiversity and #ecosystems. Protecting our children from pollution and biodiversity collapse isn’t criminal, it’s heroic.'

"Currently Earth is experiencing one of the most rapid and widespread extinction events in the planet’s 4-billion-year history.

"Biologists report that habitat destruction, like the bulldozing of nearly 6,000 acres of biodiverse #sagebrush steppe for the Thacker Pass mine, is the main cause of this '#6thMassExtinction.'"
