Which mass extinction? Because of what? Nice try at a strawman, but not specific enough. =^[.]^=

It's a mass extinction that occured much before our era.

Plant life was booming at an incredibly high rate due to the high amount of CO2 in the air, which in turn caused intense amount of oxygen to be created, to the point that the plant life form depleted CO2 which created a gigantic death wave of plants (and of course, creatures that consumed plants).

While I didn't learn about it on wikipedia (was from a documentary), I don't have access to that documentary so that link is better than nothing.

So CO2 could save the world?

Mass extiction is soon via 15000 thermonuclear warheads countries have pointed at one another. Earth will survive that too.

Environmentalism is all about rich white liberals wanting to keep advantage and third world in stone age. Basically modern eugenics couched as caring

@Scrotie No, it was initially due to the much higher presence of CO2 in the atmosphere that plants trived to a point where they would consume more (much more) CO2 than CO2 could be produced.

A balance is needed otherwise a mass extinction will happen.

Eh, as long as it includes humans.

Jared is in a bit more trouble now:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/26/jared-kushner-wanted-secret-communications-channel-with-russia-new-report-alleges.html

And that is Fox's take on it. MSNBC is not so nice.

This is crazy stupid.

I'd like to see Kushner go, because there are rumors him and Steve Bannon haven't been getting along, and there would be less competition for ideas with him gone, and Steve Bannon has better ideas. Most of the biggest mistakes Trump has made so far have been Kushner's ideas, like attacking Syria.

Humans can be included, provided we are smart enough to actually admit we affect the environment (something the current president doesn't think is real...).

Actually, the mass extinction is already starting due to human activity (albeit, not due to pollution). We consume more resources than the earth cycle can handle, which cause desertification (soil becomes poorer, which lead to less and less harvest up to the point the land become unusable for crops) and the oceans are being emptied.

Now add in the climate change that's happening (in reality, it's that there's more and more energy in the air, which cause amplification of a multitude of events, going from dryer climate, stronger storms/hurricanes, droughts, landslide (dry land can't absorb water well) and so on) that are also affecting our ability to cultivate food and you can see that we are going straight into a mass extinction event. I foretell that this generation will see it if we don't make serious improvements to our situation...
