The world needs nuclear power and we shouldn’t be afraid of it

Many of the largest mass extinctions have been associated with rapid increase in atmospheric CO2, including the largest, the end-Permian mass extinction, during which the equatorial regions of Earth became too hot for vertebrate life to survive.

Mankind is already responsible for on-going mass extinction, and that's pre-climate change.

So fixating on climate change is myopic at best. There are many problems to work on now, and over the next 80 years.

The Big Five mass extinctions, and especially the end-Permian one, were vastly worse than today's species losses, at least so far.
