@Preezy: Humans are currently causing a
mass extinction event, most properly called the Holocene-Anthropocene extinction. Our current time shares many ecological features with previous mass extinctions, such as the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. There is a similar biodiversity crisis: if we say there are around 10,000,000 species on the planet, then we are probably losing around 10,000 each year (around 30 a day). It could be higher than 100 a day, or lower than 10 a day. It's hard to know for sure as we don't know exactly how many species there are to begin with, but what really matters is that it's far in excess of how many species "should" be going extinct.
The Earth as a life-bearing entity has bounced back from worse. The
great oxygenation event and the
frozen Earth that followed was worse for the life then than climate change is for life now. The
Chicxulub impactor that caused mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous was worse for the planet than even a nuclear war would be.
That's not an argument I would dwell on, as it misses the point.
Civilisation as we know it is on course to end. The human species might even kill itself off. Those are both within the parameters of current scientific understanding. "All life" won't end, but it's still going to be a catastrophe of absolutely geological proportions that has only been rivalled a handful of times in Earth's whole history.
