Is the whole human induced 'sixth mass extinction' a bit of an overreaction?

I sort of feel that scientists who suggest it might be guided a bit by ideology as opposed to facts...

Firstly, how does one define an applicable point of stasis to compare against, and why the obsession with classifying human/environment interaction as unnatural?

What are you stupid? Becaue if "unnatural" is to have any meaning whatsoever its "things humans do"

But that's just it, nothing about humans is unnatural.

Bare in mind scientific are unironically defining 'natural' as an arbitrary point in history. I.e. everything before was natural and all change after is unnatural or anthropogenic.

Nonsense, the difference is in self awareness. A lion can not recognize it will run out of Gazelles to eat if it consumes more than they reproduce

It's kind of inevitable.
Humans create whole new biomes while destroying others.
And they (accidentally or intentionally) move organisms over previously isolated areas.

It's interesting, and we should do what we can to slow it (keep the stuff we like), but you can't really stop it without going back to stone age tech.

Self awareness is not unnatural tho... some animals other than humans aren't far away from having it on some level either. But even if they weren't, its still as natural as the birds and the bees.

Yes. The Big Boong.

What if we advance to the point where our tech has as much of enviromental damage as a stone age man?
