The problem with knowing any amount of history is that any time anything happens you're just like:

'Oh. This again'.

It's somehow both tedious and horrifying.

Is there an analog for an extinction level event of our own creation and which persisted because of a variety of absolutely crawl reasons even after denial became the domain of idiots?

Have you ever heard of the great oxidation event? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event

Though I doubt the anaerobic bacteria was aware enough to be able to deny what was happening in the first place.

Every time I read about how we're finding micro plastics in places we thought they couldn't reach (blood-brain barrier recently) I think of the GOE.
