Earth’s history has been marked by five great extinction events. With the current background extinction rate 1000 times the normal, have humans brought about the 6th mass extinction? The changes our species has wrought upon Earth, its ecology & climate, has led geologists to compare us to a geological force akin to volcanoes, and terming this era the Anthropocene period (“Anthropo” meaning ‘human’). Will it witness the greatest loss of biodiversity ever? What does the fast-changing climate mean for the future of humans? Experts weigh in on these questions in this documentary.

Get real quit trying to scare people
Asteroids haven’t fossilized one bone ,,, ☄️they can’t make fossils,,, water doesn’t flow on Mars at 100 degrees below zero, 🤥cows did not evolve from fish, 🤥a single cell has the intelligence to build a human,, accidental 🤥 then it had to be ✨⚡️GOD ⚡️✨
Carbon dioxide follows it does not lead
This dude is a charlatan
I think the universe will eventually rid itself of humans….we are making this happen faster than necessary!
Nice film. Not all of it is true. Can you make a video with honest scientists who are not religiously involved with materialism to show facts and not fantasy? There are not millions of years because humans can not measure more than 4,000 years with all our modern dating methods. The interviews are based on the imagination of people not in facts. We need evidence.
I stopped watching once I learned crazy environmentalist behind this video
Special thanks to the camera man who traveled in time to film everything.
Flabbergastefd! Never realized until now that PLANT ROOTS could actually CAUSE rather than prevent erosion. My how plant roots have changed. Maybe these folk should make a documentary explaining just when this change in plants happened.
Episode starts at 0:37
*five nuclear wars yes the ancient adnvaced civiliations and existed and we are in a post-war earth
I hope these scientists are opting to have no children, to set an example.
It's sad, we suck🙁
Yeah. The planet will eventually shake us off. So I wouldnt worry much about it. Asking humans to sacrifice comfort will be impossible. As we listen to this the next manic is creating the next weapon of mass destruction.
Prof Jeffrey Stilwell should work on a Jeff Goldblum impression!
5:17
I agree with others in questioning how plant roots cause more erosion. WTF, it's agreed now they reduce erosion, unless it is grasses that evolved much later that stop more erosion. But that doesn't explain why tree roots cause erosion…I'm confused
I like Dr Rolf Schmidt, he seems smarter than most others, jeff goldblum (Stilwell) actually isn't that bad now I think about it
so is the climate change caused by man or is it just a natural phenomenon.
We aint ever gonna reduce carbon emmisions enough to save our asses so lets just let mother nature do her stuff she has been doing it for billions of years and still life goes on eventualy.
Then came Putin 6.

Disregarding the debatable extinctions and just focusing on the 5 mass extinctions that aren't really debated. Starting with the first at 440 MYA and working your way to today does anyone else see a pattern in the timing of these. X-2X-X-2X-X. Something is triggering these extinctions in a cyclical pattern. Of all the possible culprits. This would be explained by the Nemesis hypothesis with the X extinctions occurring during perihelion and 2X taking place during aphelion in an elliptical orbit. The two greatest points of stress in the orbit. One being twice as long as the other. Extrapolating this pattern out we shouldn't be expecting another extinction event for another 60 million years give or take. Lending weight to the argument that the current extinction is man-made and is not part of the natural cycle.
45:45 – Yeah dude, that's not Russia. Chernobyl is the name of the power plant, and Pripyat – the abandoned town – is in Ukraine, close to the border of Belarus. I know it's fashionable to blame Russia for everything right now, but I thought a smart guy like you might like to get your facts straight. Kinda calls into question other things you've said in this political broadcast for the progressive left – oops, sorry – I mean documentary.
Lol, Science going to fix the problem they created. What a joke.
Im impressed at the propaganda OOOPS Chaos Theory..you cannot predict future at ALL..The regular as a clock grand solar minimum is starting for the Sun..aka mini ice age..the liars forgot that Astronomy isnt Bullshit like"climate change"
They say humans are destroying earth, but there’s been times when the arctic was green , antarica wasant a frozen block of ice , so even if this was to occur again how is that our fault or even a bad thing , instead of trying to keep this planet the same , which is impossible it fluctuates up and down it’ll never stay one way for very long that’s what that has told me , even if temps raise three degrees that still isn’t bear what it’s attained through natural processes, the sun is getting hotter , it will continue to get even hotter, that means we will get hotter , that’s natural so why would people even believe some bull crap like it’s our fault we did it , some idiot will try to convince us that it’s our fault we’re making the sun hotter we polluted the sun
Or in the future when an A.I scientist is doing field research for his doctorate , he finds there was an anoully species that appeared for a short time between layers in the soils that make up the in between what would be considered a layer in time.

I HAVE SO MANY FUCKING QUESTIONS FUUUUUUUCK
Being as asteroids, comets and meteors have made their way here from other systems, and our own systems other planets, we may never know if earth has flourished from deposits from other planets total destruction. It's not impossible, and could be very likely that some of our restarts were the end of others that were thriving
They sure push that climate change hoax
Unfortunately the all-mighty $ dictates what happens to the planet. As long as governments are being paid, by the people destroying the environment, it will never stop.
The odd thing about this… is its appeal to how we should perceive change over time – though it's the exact opposite of a rational perception regarding change over time.
Am I the only one that realized, nearly every single expert, seemed like they were struggling to articulate their thoughts??
We already have commercials everywhere Don't put them in the force video like that

I wonder if the asteroid had an effect on volcano activity? 🤔
It seems to me that the Earth is usually in balance keeping volcanoes in check most of the time. It seems reasonable to expect an increase in volcano activity shortly after the asteroid's impact. Like ringing a giant bell.
