Mass Extinction
.
We tell our children they're trapped like rats on a doomed, bankrupt, gangster-haunted planet with dwindling resources, with nothing to look forward to but rising sea levels and imminent mass extinctions, then raise a disapproving eyebrow when, in response, they dress in black, cut themselves with razors, starve themselves, gorge themselves, or kill one another.
Extinction is the rule. survival is the exception.
No matter what we call it, poison is still poison, death is still death, and industrial civilization is still causing the greatest mass extinction in the history of the planet.
Of the four billion life forms which have existed on this planet, three billion, nine hundred and sixty million are now extinct. we don't know why. some by wanton extinction, some through natural catastrophe, some destroyed by meteorites and asteroids. in the light of these mass extinctions it really does seem unreasonable to suppose that homo sapiens should be exempt. our species will have been one of the shortest-lived of all, a mere blink, you may say, in the eye of time.
Mass extinctions may not threaten distant futures, but they are decidedly unpleasant for species caught up in the throes of their power.
