We aren’t that remarkable
Something irks me, regarding the discourse surrounding global warming. Some people say humanity is a virus. Others, that we are "the only beings capable of causing a mass extinction event all on our own."
I'm sorry, but that is plain wrong.
Not in that we aren't causing such a mass extinction event. We are.
Not because there is no climate change and global warming. There are.
But because we are just yet another lifeform wreaking havoc on it's ecosystem, eradicating a huge number of species of all kinds in the process.
