Blog #5 There have been 5 major extinction events throughout history, are humans impacting the 6th? Why or why not?

There have been 5 major extinction events throughout history, are humans impacting the 6th? Why or why not?

Since there are already 5 major extinctions throughout history, humans are going to have an impact to the 6th because humans are ruling this world currently, not animals, not mystical creatures, but humans. Humans together gather ideas of what to do in the future or right now, such as doing the captive breeding program-keeping animals from wildlife so they don't become extinct, but also keeping them in "jail." In addition, humans use electricity a lot; therefore, affecting the earth/environment in many ways. It is also why people are spreading the words to: Go Green and also reuse, recycle, and reduce. Apply it to yourself too! We can also see the world is changing because of the weather. For instance, during christmas time it was pretty hot and I thought winter was suppose to be cold. 

However, some incidents don't happen because of humans, but because of world changes. For example, we can't control when earthquakes stop, when hurricanes come, when a meteor crashes to earth or even when lava erupts; we have to face it and unfortunately, some animals or species may extinct by this. Because of mother nature, we simply cannot stop a meteor with our own hands like we can when there is a can being thrown at you.
