Did you know that 99.9% of all species are already extinct?
Life has existed on Earth for 3,400,000,000 years. Lots of stuff has evolved, lived, died and gone extinct. Life on Earth has survived over 50 celestial deep impacts of 10km+ impactors, each one radically and violently changing the environment.
A 1,000 times more species have evolved and then disappeared before us, than exist today.
Nature is an insanely powerful system, keep this in mind when you are spoon fed environmental doom porn or any kind of apocalyptic vision.
Earthlings are tough as hell and are pretty much as old as the planet itself.
