Extinction can be, if we want it, the point of the evidence is it shows things are all connected, and are all critical, but nature is forcing us to do something we never did before, that is to corectly value something given to us for free, in effect we signed a contract with nature when we started using that energy from the sun, but as yet we have not passed it on to all needing it including our planet, which we also signed a contract with, by using it's energy before solar.
We have an energy overdraft with Earth that can only be repaid by energy from the sun, and we can only transport that energy to all needing it by monetising it, which means issuing money for free, since the energy was given to us for free.
The only requirement of nature is we monetise it.
If we refuse to do that, then we are done.
If we do it, we move onto the next phase of humanity, where we are no longer extracting energy from the teat of our mother entity (Earth), but living from the energy of the environment of our mother (The sun), adding this to Earth like all plants do.
So it's our choice, whether we want to be born as a species, or not.
Get busy livin' or get busy dyin', was never truer than right now.
