It's a great show, I've seen it. The problem is the rate of ocean acidification is unprecedented at this speed in our geological history, and that our current level hasn't been hit in 300 million years, and we're still trucking. This could create an irreversible change.
The other thing to factor in is this will be it for intelligent life. We won't get another chance at a species progressing the way we did because much of the world's easily accessible oil has been used up.
@MercuryUprising
No previous life form based its expansion on oil like we did. And no previous life, in its unfathomable diversity, was even close to prior ones in shape, form or ability.
Why would you think that a future intelligent form would turn out like us and base its existence on fossil fuels?
Basic evolutionary and technological processes, I guess. Combustible fuels are the simplest step a species can take.
@MercuryUprising
Since every evolutionary era, when devastation then a rise of life occured, the new life forms were more advanced than the previous.
It's likely that whatever life develops after we're gone will find more ecologically-sound ways to progress than we did. And that's a good thing, cause we were for shit at it.
