    Oh yeah it’s all good, I just talked about millions of years of recovery and the extinction of humans, but yeah I’m a shill for big oil.

    What are you smoking? I want some

        Humanity aside, exterminating thousands of species of animals is just bad, not for any practical effect it has on humanity or “nature” but just because it, in itself, is morally bad.

          The argument I’ve heard is that new species will evolve to fill new niches and one day earth will host the same biodiversity again.

          I can’t say I find that one anymore convincing. I’m with you on this, it’s pretty gross how blasé some people are about dragging countless other species into extinction along with us.

      I’ve seen it a lot recently.

      Person 1: nature will recover, but humanity will go extinct.

      Person 2: actually, humanity won’t go extinct [list of information about humanity’s resiliency]

      Person 1 (or 3rd party reading): oh cool, not that big a deal then

      Lost in this discussion: mass extinctions bad
