Humans are causing the sixth mass extinction.

Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that humans are causing the sixth mass extinction?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed and reference sources state that human activities have pushed extinction rates far above background levels and that a sixth mass extinction is underway or beginning. A few items are truncated but still frame human activity as the cause.
