| + | Peter Ward还认为,目前人为导致的气候变化和大规模物种灭绝事件可能被认为是最近的美狄亚事件。由于这些事件是人为的,他假定美狄亚事件不一定是由微生物引起的,也可能由智慧生命引起。他认为,复杂生命的最终大规模灭绝,大约在未来5亿年左右,这也将被视为美狄亚事件。到那时仍然存在的植物将被迫适应日益变暖和膨胀的太阳,从而使它们从大气中吸收更多的二氧化碳(反过来,这也由于太阳不断增加的热量导致逐渐加快的风化过程,使二氧化碳从大气中消失) ,并最终通过使二氧化碳浓度降低到只有10ppm(低于这个浓度,植物将无法存活)来加速复杂生命的完全灭绝。然而,Ward同时认为,像人类这样的智慧生命可能不一定只是触发未来的美狄亚事件,也有可能最终阻止它们的发生。 |

− | Peter Ward also believes that the current [[man-made climate change]] and mass extinction event may be considered to be the most recent Medean event. As these events are anthropogenic, he postulates that Medean events are not necessarily caused by microbes, but by intelligent life as well. He believes that the final mass extinction of complex life, roughly about 500 million years in the future, will also be considered a Medean event. Plant life that still exists by then will be forced to adapt to a warming and expanding Sun, causing them to remove even more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (which in turn will have already be due to the increasing heat from the Sun gradually speeding up the weathering process that removes them from the atmosphere), and ultimately accelerating the complete extinction of complex life by making carbon dioxide levels drop down to just 10 ppm, below which plants can no longer survive. However, Ward simultaneously argues that intelligent life such as humans may not necessarily just trigger future Medean events, but may eventually prevent them from occurring.
