Some think so:

"Life on earth is on the verge of a mass extinction comparable to that which wiped out the dinosaurs, scientists at UC Berkeley have warned.

Such events have happened only five times before in the last 540 million years, and each saw three-quarters or more of all animal species become extinct."
