    We’ve already killed roughly 40 percent of all animals since the 1970s, with an accelerating rate. Humans are the 6th mass extinction, the last being the asteroid that killed (most of) the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. We are the also the end of the longest stable period of bio diversity in the history of this planet.

      I really wish we go extinct before we manage to find an habitable planet we can also realistically colonize

        Colonization is probably far out of reach. Short of terraforming one of our solar system’s planets or moons (and this is truly our only hope), we’re stuck looking for exoplanets. The nearest star to ours is 4.25 light years away.
