The Holocene Extinction, better known as The Big Six by professionals in that field. May also be annotated as The Plastic Apocalypse.

Oh I disagree. The earth has had the slate nearly wiped clean by deep freezes, choking clouds of dust, acidic rain. Oceans have swelled, mountains both made and unmade, flaming chunks of molten earth have come down like hail in the city of Dis. Nature's primal fury, glassing the earth with her lightning, and continent wide swaths of molten rock, driving the oceans back.

We've already seen that stuff before, it's written in the earth. What we haven't seen is a poisoning event on a global scale. And it wasn't random cosmic chance, either. We did this. Intelligent design.

If the oceans fail, all life will fail. If we've truly hit a point of no return, it will be interesting to see what will come of it all. The most unfortunate part is we won't be able to see how the planet recovers.

I hope nature takes back the world, and is able to make something of it again. We have been proven to be irresponsible stewards and are unworthy of the bounty.
