You’re looking at 3 further drops of that magnitude for it to have any meaningful impact on anyone alive today. But if we do have 3 then yes, it’s absolutely time to go apeshit.
Yeah, at that magnitude loss one more and we’d only have tens of millions of years left.

I think everyone would be understanding about this today, even.
