Do you really mean extinction? [?x]
It is now an actuarial certainty
People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years
Now it's really happening
The world has already seen five major extinctions
And now there will be another
Relatively soon the Earth will indeed purge itself of human life
It's the end
It's the end of everything
Extinction
People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years
Now it's really happening
Environmental disaster, pandemic disease
Unbreathable air, impotable water, not enough food
Nuclear winter, some combination of them all
Relatively soon the Earth will indeed purge itself of human life
And God knows how many other species
Not a very successful species, these Homo sapiens
Even with such great intelligence
Barely 200,000 years
Alligator has survived 200 million years
With a brain the size of a walnut
People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years
Now it's really happening
It's humbling, huh?
Nature is such a patient sculptor
Grinding a tiny bit each day, slowly, slowly
For thousands of years, to make such a supremely beautiful thing
What a waste
What a dreadful waste
It's the end of everything
People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years
Now it's really happening
Extinction
People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years
Now it's really happening
There we were in Helsinki, climatologists, bacteriologists
Demographers, physicists, immunologists
Twenty-six Nobel Prize winners among us
We built all the models, did all the math
And our conclusion was consistent
Homo sapiens will soon vanish from the Earth
It is now an actuarial certainty
