I haven't read the piece but the way some people behave they deserve to go extinct, preferably as the recipient of a Darwin Award, but I like to think I contribute in a positive way so I will ward off my extinction with as much bloody mindedness as I can....I thank you 🙂

WTF is wrong with these people? Without someone "in charge" we run into the parks and do as much damage as we can while we can? Idiots!

I read a paleontology book years ago called 3 Billion Years Of Life. It was written in the 60s so the science is somewhat out of date but the premise still rings true.

The author tried to do an analysis of species' existence time through what we know of geological history. He decided that species typically last 5-10 million years before they disappear.

By that standard we aren't even being particularly successful. We are still far short of that and we're already threatening our own existence. (I did hope our kind would outlast my life though -- fingers crossed.)

Careful what you wish for, it will likely happen

Why do people do stuff like this? If you like the area and nature, why would you purposely do things to destroy it? How hard is it to pick up your own trash for pete sakes?!?!?

I assumed this some time ago. There is no ability to cooperate for the health of the globe.

Way ahead you. This world seems to be run by those that don't care as long as they are standing are the pile of corpses to lord over the masses. Let it burn!

we?

i'm not identifying with that.

@Closeted i own that i'm human. i own that humans can be rotten. i will not own that we must be, that i personally am, nor that we deserve extinction.

@Closeted maybe (i'm not holding my breath) they can begin the long healing process.
