If you want to save time by not reading the link, the short story is, researchers have concluded that mass extinctions occur every 27 million years or so. Which, begs the question:
How long ago was the last mass extinction?
If you will study this chart for a moment, indeed it appears every 25 million years, roughly, there is a definate uptick in extinctions. We can also extrapolate (if we ignore the slight uptick approximately 12 MYA, read the chart from right to left, zero is where we are now) that we are overdue.
Right now, given the state of the world, and the U.S. specifically. I’m not so sure it would be a bad thing. Let’s just have a do over!
Y’all stay safe out there. Thank science the covid vaccine will soon be available. Just in time for our extinction event 😉

I wouldn’t mind if “Trumpism” were extinct. :o)

Hello ShellDigger. They say the caldera in Yellowstone is way overdue also. Imagine if all the world’s hidden volcanoes / calderas blew up at once? Maybe the Mayans got it wrong and instead of 2012 they meant 2020? That could be why they just stopped instead of going past 2012, they seen the down fall of the world and said “Fuck it, Just not worth the effort”. Hugs

Yeah, if Yellowstone goes, that will be an incredible catastrophe. I sure hope we miss that one. I think I’d rather just deal with the asteroid and get it over with. 🙂
