The Great Dying

Environmental scientists and engineers
All describe the current era as planet Earth's
Sixth mass extinction
Its 'cause humans
Approximately half of all now living plant
And animal species in the world's
Densely biodiverse regions are risking
Extinction due to global warming and climate change
The rate the world's sea level is
Rising suggests that it may lead
To a rapid change which would
Create momentous problems
For citizens that live in coastal regions
This has led scientists to describe
These days as the Anthropocene
The new geological era constructed by humans
The recent unparalleled temperatures
In the Arctic as well as the data
Showing abnormal rises in upper
Atmospheric methane levels converge
To give the impression that the near future
Of the entire human race is at stake
