    We like our coal and private jets too much. Let the next generation handle it (if there even is one)

    For biodiversity, for example, if the rate at which species disappear is less than 10 times the average extinction rate over the last 10 million years, that is deemed acceptable.

    In reality, however, extinctions are occurring at least 100 times faster than this so-called background rate, and 10 times faster than the planetary boundary limit.

    Will the miracle of life actually survive our self-induced extinction?
