Original Note:
We may or may not be entering a 6th mass extinction event. Biodiversity has decreased, likely because of mankind, & that has a negative effect on the ecosystem. Paul Ehrlich has a history of making alarmist claims that motivate society to change (see Smithsonian article). https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/03/2/l_032_04.html https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/book-incited-worldwide-fear-overpopulation-180967499/
