    Humans are the reason for the sixth extinction. Species are dropping at an incredibly fast rate. This is mostly because of climate change and ocean acidification affecting the planets biodiversity. As the climate changes animals are unable to adapt.

These events are happening all over the world and humans are the only ones who can stop…

    What is the world going to be like in the next 20 years? Will we still see the same animals as we see today? As a nation, the impact on the environment that we have is a very substantial amount. But what about individually impacting the environment? Many people believe that they have a little impact, so many people don’t think they need be conscious about the impact they have on the world’s animals and environment. If the world would realize that a one person, with a little impact they can join together and have 7.3 billion people having a small impact. With that big of an impact, the world would be a better living space and the future generations will get to enjoy the animals on the verge of extinction. Sandra Steingraber is an ecologist and…

    Elizabeth Kolbert wrote The Sixth Extinction as an attempt to explain and give examples of what seems to be a 6th extinction event currently happening in the modern world. We have discussed and learned about five other extinction events throughout this semester, and Kolbert pushes this 6th extinction event as a new rapid extinction predominantly caused by humans. One of the underlying causes of this 6th extinction event discussed in the book is the mass killing of both animals and humans. Another underlying cause of this extinction event discussed in the book, which is probably more prevalent now than ever before, is climate change caused by humans. This book goes chapter by chapter giving examples of various species that are on the verge of going…

    The author Diane Ackerman describes how the new age of human revolution begins to rises, as the changing effects of Earth's nature start to dies. The race of humans had created a wide terrestrial destruction on Earth, but the humans do have their economic capabilities and resource technologies to fix the entire ecosystems as possible. Then again, they cannot reverse the changing effects of the global warming and climates. Between the media news and the U.N., as the United Nations, are always doing many reports on the global warming, and it gets the human societies into thinking that earth is going be doom.

    The idea of human extinction has been circulating a lot the past two decades and it just so happens many believe we may play a role in it. John Leslie covers multiple scenarios in his paper that he deems quite plausible. The saying that curiosity killed the cat could not be more true, except we are likely going to be the cat. Our constant curiosity and need to manipulate what should not be manipulated will likely be the end of the human race; nuclear weapons, manipulating diseases, artificial foods, etc. Leslie covers many of the scenarios but one that seems to be a major byproduct and what I believe to be the most likely is some catastrophic event due to climate change. Elon Musk, calls what we are doing with fossil fuels and pollution, the…

    The YouTube clip by dr. Michio Kaku starts with a rather interesting question. He asks the audience whether mankind might be likely to destroy itself. He elaborates on elements in favour of self destruction, but also states elements that claim self destruction will be overcome. Self destruction, in fact, will not occur but instead the opposite might be achieved; cultural immortality. He tries to submerge into the brain of the audience and let it think about what will happen to us. This specific question is the fund of this essay.…

He believes that humanity's harsh treatment of Earth will soon have excruciating consequences. Wilson also states that the increasing industrial world is having a very consequential affect on the global environment and that it may be too much for it to handle. He insists that "the human species is an environmental abnormality," because human's negative impact on the earth is likely to threaten the survival of the human species.…
