Doing a quick literature review I'm not seeing much at all on the "Sixth Mass Extinction". There are mostly the same articles from wiki.
No one is doubting we are extincting species at a rate far beyond anything normal. This is nothing to do with a Sixth Mass Extinction though, that's many steps up.
What international bodies recognise it? Do we have any data on how many scientists agree?
