“The end of the world is nigh” ...or is it?

I recently watched it and I have to say that, although it was full of loads of scientific data which could have become very heavy, they divided it up into boundaries or bite-size chunks which meant it was much easier to understand. It is called 'The Science of our Planet', and it really is worth the watching. In fact, I am going to watch it again!  Briefly Professor Johan has looked at how we humans have harmed our planet, and have put ourselves on a path towards the 6th mass extinction. Now in the previous five event they were not caused by the most dominant species. They came under the category of “stuff happens”, they were acts of nature as it settled itself down.  Now after 10,000 years of a stable climate, we are as a species are living in a way that is not in balance or harmony with nature and if we continue like this, we will reach a point where we pass what the professor calls a tipping point. A point of no return, where mass extinction is inevitable, in all the passed extinction event whatever was the dominant species do not do well, just think about the dinosaurs.  The professor dives the world up into 9 different areas and then looks at each one in turn to discover when we pass from green, OK, into amber we need to start worrying, and finally into red and we have passed the tipping point in that section.
