Earth's expiration date and the humans expiration day

I know. Let's pick 27,000 species out the millions of species on earth. We'll pick them arbitrarily to ensure bias, make grand assumptions about past extinction rates, as if we knew at any given time how many species exist (heck, we can't even agree on what a species IS!!) and then make a prediction of doom. Shades of 1950s science fiction movies, but for a lot more money.

Doom sells. What people buy we will get more of. People are absolute SUCKERS for predictions of doom, especially THEIR doom. Watch for more more and darker doom scenarios, invented from whole cloth, sold to you by news media which has lost its compass and doesn't know what news is any more.
