The 5 times humans almost went EXTINCT - as scientists reveal the date our species could finally be wiped out

...there have been at least five occasions throughout history where the human race has been in danger of dying out, not least because of the eruption of a supervolcano 70,000 years ago that almost sent us the same way as the dinosaurs.

So when will our species go extinct? If you're an optimist, it won't be for another billion years. That is when the expanding sun will cause our planet to heart up to a Venus-like state and render all life on Earth extinct.

A quick glance at the pic shows population declines almost all due to cooling events. Evidence mentioned in the article are gaps in the fossil record for the first two. They don't say what the evidence is for the next three declines. They just attribute the cause to cooling for the next two and "climate change" for the fifth.

Nevertheless, this points out one of my first questions to climate nazis - why do you think warmer is bad?

Per the extinction, I'd say we're more likely to have another big volcano event or meteor strike before the sun gets too big.

First, global warmelers are not interested in climate. They are interested in controling behavior.

If we make it another thousand years as a technological civilization, we will be able to move the Earth to a different orbit when we need to.

We should have asteroid defenses in the next 10 years, if the government gets off Musk’s back.

Everyone with a working brain knows that Winter kills. Global warming? Sure, you might have to look for shade and water during not months, but every warming period in man's history corresponds with a golden age of civilization and progress.

If Yellowstone blows, life on Earth goes.

...nuclear war could...trigger such disaster...
.
Clue: The Mohammedans with nukes in Israel & the U.S. is a real possibility.

I'll take "Extinction by Aliens" for $1000, Alex.

“Number of breading individuals” … what were the others and who took the census?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

God has the final say. We are his people.

[jonsie]

Amen

Am I the only one that cares about what happened to Tom Cruise’s Mustang in that movie?

And he was rebuilding an engine (in the living room I think).

PRIORITIES!!!

6. Waiting on Biden and BootyEdgeEdge to fix the supply chain issues while bankrupting the U.S.A. and spending even more money on foreigners and not Americans

(just kidding ...... or maybe not)

The chart says that 40,000 years ago climate change made the Neanderthals disappear. Were humans driving cars back then?

It’s amazing how long humans have affected the climate, even when there were only 1200 of them on the planet. /sarc

[SaveFerris]

And it was so rude of them to keep blaring that horn or klaxon or whatever them space aliens call it. Why can't they just be nice like these guys?

[Babba Gi]

He looks like DeSantis.

F = ma. The m for planet Earth is a big number. I sincerely doubt that mankind will ever be able to deploy forces big enough to move planets.

[SauronOfMordor]

Even a small force, applied over a long time, will move a planet.

If it takes geologic time to do it, we have the time.

[gbaker]

Somehow they missed the flood. Go figure.

[I want the USA back]

At some time or other all this will be toast, and it won’t be caused by “climate change.” The Sun will expand and roast everything.

Seeing how the human race has been acting recently, I’m not in favor of “colonizing” other planets.

[bk1000]

The data in that chart is ridiculous. It is not possible to determine there were only 1200 “breeding individuals” 900,000 years ago, and then to blame it on “climate change”.
