I don't mean to be rude, but you are clueless.
Here is a stepping off point that has already been posted by another in this thread. Note that 20 years ago 70% of biologists thought there was a human-caused extinction event in progress. I am certain a survey taken today would approach 100%, the exceptions being creationists or similar.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction
C'mon wiki is not a scientific source, if there is a current mass extinction event taking place, there must be numerous peer reviewed scientific papers published in the world's top science journals. Go find them if you can.
That is why I referred to wiki as a "stepping off point". Did you read wiki? I could add to it if so inclined.
You do not seem to recognize that you haven't yet arrived at the starting line in this conversation.
You state that, "Only a relatively few scientists who believe one (extinction event) is happening". That is blatantly untrue and the scientists in denial are of dummied up fringe variety probably living on a flat Earth.
