The news just gets sadder and sadder by the day. Why do I fixate on reading the news?

Thinking of the future makes me think that we have a Cormac Maccarthy’s The Road’s model of an apocalypse at some point in the future.

What struck me most about that book isn’t the cannibals or the horribly desperate things people do to survive, but the silence - no animal noises, no insects chirping, no plants, nothing. Nothing to grow, Nothing to hunt, Nowhere to go.

How will people survive when no plants can grow? What will governments do when it can’t feed it’s own people?

I hope I die before that time comes.

Not surprising. The great dying was most likely due to Siberian volcanic eruptions that persisted for 2 million years. It likely took hundreds/thousands of years to start killing species through climate change.

The current man-made extinction event is mostly due to humans directly destroying habitat and killing animals, instead of climate change — the majority of which occurred in the last 100 years.

Don’t worry though — man made climate change will finish the job for most of the remaining macro-species we don’t actively farm for food.

That is completely unfair! Many if not most pet species are safe too.
