    We’ve already killed roughly 40 percent of all animals since the 1970s, with an accelerating rate. Humans are the 6th mass extinction, the last being the asteroid that killed (most of) the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. We are the also the end of the longest stable period of bio diversity in the history of this planet.

      I really wish we go extinct before we manage to find an habitable planet we can also realistically colonize

        Colonization of a planet is 100% unrealistic. Our societies won’t even work to maintain what we have. Who is going to spend money essentially creating life on a new planet? The rich have it good here. The governments are busy fighting and ignoring the people. People don’t even want to switch to renewable energy.

        No chance at all.
