When have we not been on the verge of a “mass species extinction” event on our blue dot? Also, I believe it was a mass extinction that allowed us homo erectus to thrive.
- noobermin 9y agoI am referring to climate change and I don't know how you think we can thrive through it.
- akvadrako 9y agoI don't know how you think we can't. A few degrees C over a hundred years? If humanity can't adapt to that we're the least adaptable species ever. Humanity is thriving during a period which started about 20k years ago where the global temperature is 10°C higher than for most of the past 2 million years.
