  5. The Chicxulub Craters and the Anthropocene Holocausts were choosing players. Of course the Craters chose a massive asteroid to be on their #side. The Holocausts countered by choosing fossil fuel consumption. Then the Craters chose massive volcanic eruptions, so of course the Holocausts chose aquifer depletion. They met the Craters' acidified oceans with thinning sea ice--and so it went.

    It's going to be the extinction match of the ages.

  10. Netflix - 'Life on Earth'

    I've now got to episode 6 in this series that is very well made and features the enduring voice of Morgan Freeman.

    So far (in it) there have been 3 mass extinctions and if my understanding of science is right, it will describe 2 more.

    I'm guessing that all 5 mass extinctions in Earth's past will be from natural forces ie external to the affected species that died out.

    But the next (6th) mass extinction won't be, because its entirely caused by the species most likely to die out the most, us!

    Natural glacial cycles should now have the Earth heading into a new ice age, but Anthrop interference has it heading to become Venus MKII instead.

    Did nature plan to do this by evolving a disposable species to dodge an ice age?

    If so for which reason(s)

    (if indeed a planet can reason)

  21. AIUI biologists have repeatedly observed that when a species overpopulates it's environment one or more events result in a crash in the population numbers of that species.

    I think that #ClimateChange, #MassExtinctions, and #GlobalPandemics show that humans have overpopulated the environment.

    We've had a chance to avoid a population crash by implementing smart solutions.
    But our culture has messed with our politics and our science and no adequate solutions may happen
