‘A climate of unparalleled malevolence’: are we on our way to the sixth major mass extinction? • Churning quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at the rate we are going could lead the planet to another Great Dying

1. *Could lead* to another great dying? Try *has caused* another great dying.

   The mass extinction is already in progress.

2. We will go extinct, not the planet!

3. We’re already in another mass extinction since the end of the ice age, just look at how many animals have gone extinct between 12,000 years ago to now and you’ll see it’s already on its way. I doubt it’ll be on the scale of the later Permian extinction but possibly more on scale of other extinction events. Life on earth was here before us and it’ll be here long after us.
