Every 26 million years.
Earth experiences a Mass Extinction.

Strange huh.

Exactly, every 26 million years.
(we are 8 million years away from another Mass Extinction)

So what causes this? Huh

It's a long time between procreation acts.

Keep practicing.

Human extinction is only centuries away with the rate of climate change appearing to accelerate.

We are actually right in the middle of a mass extinction event

As for the 26 million year cycle....it doesn't exist
Jasin do you have any evidence that isn't dodgy youtube videos?

It has been stated before that the earth does a circuit around the galactic central point every 200 million years

We have no idea what forces act on our planet during that journey

But it's quite possible that it could go through cycles much like the seasons we experience every year as we journey though space.

Perhaps the 26 million years could be like lunar cycles, not as severe as the seasons, but still enough to change our planet and its environment.

There is so much our "scientists" don't know
They base there information on a microscopic timeframe when compared to the universe.
Up until a few hundred years ago,
Scientists believed that any speed over 35 mph would kill you
That microscopic bacteria distant exist.
That scurvy was caused by deseased, not vitamin deficiency.

They just don't have enough data
It woukd be like basing all findings related to an island on 2 seconds of data

Sad innit?
And we believe them

Seeing as though humans have only been here for 200,000 years and will probably not be here in another 200,000yrs the 26 million year cycle or the 200 million year cycle seems irrelevant.

Well now I can tell you're just 'polarising' me Barnacle. It's not about Comets afterall  Wink

Anyway.
I've looked into it a bit more and the 26 million year Mass Extinction cycle is possibly due to the mysteriously yet undiscovered, Nemesis 'Red Dwarf' Star that might be orbiting our star 'Sol' like a binary and causes somewhat of a 'disruption' to the system? Which makes the 1.5 million year 'side-swipe' of the Star Gleise (through our Oort Cloud) as not part of the cycle and can't be the mythical 'Nemesis' Star. There is also a Planet X out there which may have disrupted the orbit of Sedna...

Anyway!
What I'm trying to say is that HUMANITY is breaking the pattern to some extent.
People say its a MASS EXTINCTION right now! (which makes it 8 million years too early for the 26million year cycle)

...but other People say its not a 'Mass Extinction', as sure - many animals are dissapearing. But the Human race has proliferated. Humans will replace all 'major' sized animals.

So basically, if there is a mass extinction NOW.
Then Humanity goes against the laws of Nature.
Humanity, if it goes against 'nature' - then it must be 'Death'.
Humanity must be a 'disease' spreading Cancer on the world and aggressive 'life killing' disease that will one day kill the host that it feeds upon.

All the examples you gave are things that modern science actually DISPROVED
You are also showing a classic example of the Nirvana fallacy
That because something isn't 100% perfect it can be discarded as completely worthless (this is the fallacy lee employs to try and discredit AGW....but i digress)
It seems to have become fashionable for the conservative side of politics to attack scientists because they don't suit their political agenda

Sorry, Doomsday Forecasters, Earth's Mass Extinctions Occur At Random


All told, in just the last 260 million years, eight major extinction events have been identified. Many scientists have speculated that these events don't occur at random, but have a periodic cause: like Earth's motion through the Milky Way or a geologically-driven effect. As exciting as these possibilities are, there's no scientific motivation. There's no periodic effect observed, as the science shows these extinction events occur at random.

In particular, the identified times for mass extinction events are as follows:

    11.6 million years ago, Middle Miocene.
    37.8 million years ago, Mid-Late Eocene.
    66 million years ago, End Cretaceous.
    93.9 million years ago, Cenomanian/Turonian.
    145 million years ago, Jurassic/Cretaceous.
    182.7 million years ago, Pliensbachian/Toarcian.
    201.3 million years ago, Triassic/Jurassic.
    252.2 million years ago, End-Permian.

No sign of a 26 million year cycle
