How humans are driving the sixth mass extinction

Quote: Scientists have been warning for decades that human actions are pushing life on our shared planet toward mass extinction. Such extinction events have occurred five times in the past, but a bold new paper finds that this time would be fundamentally different. Fortunately, there’s still time to stop it. Endquote

    We know it, and still we don't!

    Humans act late! And it is usually too late to recover!

    I sometimes wonder if we had to keep our 'technological' needs to bare minimum, what would we keep? Also, can we really afford to keep it at current level?

    I guess that would be technologies for communication (I'm not talking about 4G), power generation and medical diagnosis. Then, everyone has different priorities 😒

    Or everything should be ninety five percent percent efficient! 😁

    Rhino Picture was really horrible 😔 😔
    Those people don't deserved to be called as Humans

    On a Side Note : I don't think there will be any mass extinction according to #-Link-Snipped-# (I believe in this website a lot)
