I'd love for you to expand on "seen worse". During the time of man?

Again, we don't truly know yet what we are going to see.

And in geological history the "worse" stuff, such as the permian extinction event that killed off over 90% of everything that lived, did so over such a long time it allowed a few species to survive by adaptation and then radiation of new species (such as big giant reptiles). The PACE of the historical ecological horror was slow enough where it allowed evolution to work. The current dynamics don't fit that model and I fear potential evolutionary factors won't be allowed to facilitate because of how fast we are fucking up shit.

I'd love to hear your views on this. You seem to be optimistic. LOL.
