My work depicts several extinction events in the Earth’s 4.5 billion year history, the Permian, the Cretaceous, the Pleistocene, and our current time the Holocene. The phrase “save the earth” is a misnomer, it would more accurately be stated “save ourselves”– referring to the human species. Earth’s future is not in our control; however, we can lessen harmful human practices negatively impacting declining and delicate life systems. As climate change occurs, I question… “Is it too late?”
