Hi, 96385. Thanks for contributing. However, your [submission](https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/16tpvc2/-/) was removed from /r/collapse for: > Rule 3: Posts must be on-topic, focusing on collapse. > Posts must be focused on collapse. If the subject matter of your post has less focus on collapse than it does on issues such as prepping, politics, or economics, then it probably belongs in another subreddit. > Posts must be specifically about collapse, not the resulting damage. By way of analogy, we want to talk about why there are so many car accidents, not look at photos of car wrecks. Please refer to our [subreddit rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/about/rules/) for more information. You can [message the mods](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/collapse) if you feel this was in error, please include a link to the comment or post in question.

This has no business being on CNN. We desperately need serious Media, but It’s not going to happen.

CNN was never terribly serious media.

That’s true but they have all gotten worse. A society’s entire media apparatus revolving around, clicks, views and ultimately profits is a recipe for catastrophe.

Let's worry about summer 2024.

Yes let’s worry about this in like 200 million years or so.

more like 249,999,000 years from now. 1000 years should be a good buffer no?

If there is a single human left then, you know they won’t do a thing until Christmas in 249,999,999 years.

We could face a BOE in 2024. Global famines will happen soon.

But what will inflation be like in 250 million years? That's what really matters to people!

Slower than expected.

Slower than a conversation with Glitch McConnell.

Sure, or something else could do it much sooner...

Could? I’d bet all my savings that there will not be humans in 250 million years. We would be lucky to make it to 2100, imo. Hope I’m wrong.

I feel like this is a few sentence change from an The Onion article.

One way or another, i don't think we will be here to worry about that. It sure as hell ain't my problem... unless we achieve immortality. THEN it's my problem.

Writing doomer titles about wiping out humans has become so mainstream, it's applied to any random thing now. We've reached the stage where mainstream media is just using collapse as click-bait.

Somehow I'm still more concerned about climate change then a projection that's further away from us than we are from dinosaurs

It's just so bizarre to present this article like this, as if something 250 million years from now has any bearing on anything.

roidbro1@reddit

I think they do it partly because it teases the notion we’d still be about by then, reducing any existential fear right now coz “plenty of time” and such nonsensical rhetoric.

Even if we completely irradiate this planet there's enough organisms that would survive to climb from the ocean again... I ain't worried about Mother Earth

Cool. I’ll check back tomorrow for the update “Supercontinent forming faster than expected!”

Let's work on the next 50 yrs lol, I don't even have confidence we'll make it that far.

Imagine 250 million years of evolution with all the technology we have already and then some. That really goes above my level of imagination, heck even 20 years is already difficult

Unfortunately, the most likely extinction event that will wipe us out is only a blink of an eye away on a geological perspective versus this.

We've reached the stage where mainstream media is just using collapse as click-bait.
