Surviving The Sixth Extinction: Are we too late?
Of all the species that have ever existed on Earth, 99% of them are gone. Most of those were wiped out during what are known as "Mass Extinction Events".
Since life emerged on our planet, there have been five mass extinctions. Sometimes these events last many years. But sometimes a mass extinction can happen very, very suddenly.
Some scientists think we're on the verge of a sixth mass extinction. Others think it's already begun.
But the question everybody asks is: "Is there anything we can do to stop it?"

When I watch YT videos of stupid people or irresponsible people interacting with the police I realize a sixth extinction is a good thing. Sooner rather than later, in my view.

I love the Why Files.
They look at some really interesting subjects and show both sides of the argument, giving a really balanced view.
They do it with a good dose of humour too... Fear the Crabcat!!
