Five mass extinctions or one Divine Global Judgement — either way, looks like the next one isn’t far off. I don’t think staying in bed is the answer, though.
just a thought: we’re in the midst of the sixth great extinction event. We’re killing off songbirds, butterflies, whales, fish, and quite possibly ourselves….
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If a mass extinction occurs, at least I had lay myself down in peace, and sleep. At least I won’t wake up as someone’s bacon in the morn.
Dig deeper, more extinction events have been found and if we don’t modify this one even the tardigrades won’t make it. Burning spent fuel rod radiation will destroy the ozone.

A Tardigrade is “often” “commonly” called a Water Bear.
To me, it looks kind of like a microscopic mole rat.

Sorry? There have been five mass extinctions? Before fossil fuel carbon emissions? You mean climate shifts and changes as a natural process?

I would like to see much more of Tardigrade. He needs a rich backstory, a nickname (Tardi? TG?) and some plotlines dedicated to him. Please!
