This article made me happy.
Apparently, mammals have a tendency to go extinct rather easily and there's every indication that humans are likely to go extinct as well.
The signs are already there.
As far as I'm concerned, sooner is better than later. The notion of a planet relieved of our existence gives me hope for Earth's future.
