Biologist warn of early stages of Earth's sixth mass extinction event
The planet's current biodiversity, the product of 3.5 billion years of evolutionary trial and error, is the highest in the history of life. But it may be reaching a tipping point. Scientists caution that the loss and decline of animals is contributing to what appears to be the early days of the planet's sixth mass biological extinction event. Since 1500, more than 320 terrestrial vertebrates have become extinct. Populations of the remaining species show a 25 percent average decline in abundance. The situation is similarly dire for invertebrate animal life.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I read yesterday that baby seals are being born much smaller than normal. They said this is probably due to the decline in krill, which they feed off. So I really do believe the food chain's disintegrating... krill, seals, insects, birds... it's happening now.

Re: Biologist warn of early stages of Earth's sixth mass extinction event
This kind of crap pisses me off.

Do these scientist buy their own bullshit?

All human activity farming,cities,road...all of it occupy less than 5% of the land on this planet.Less than 5%.

I think people that live in big cities have no clue how much land there really is.You can go hundreds of miles in the USA without crossing a road(in the lower 48).In Canada you can go even further.South America,Africa,and Russia are even less developed.

People can just not fathom how much land their really is.

If the oceans are so destroed why are the populations of Blue Whales rising at 5% a year(for over 30 years now)?

See I have dived in enough places on earth to see first hand an almost complete lack of anything.I have dived on the barrier,Bahamas,Cuba,and off the coast of Brazil(and a few others).I have never seen a decline in species in my 20+ years of diving.I have seen almost no change anywhere.I am telling you all of the places I dive look just as great now as they did in 1980s,and are still spectacularly beautiful.

no they didn't. Science only emerged with the age of enlightenment and the first peer reviewed scientific journal.

now the church was adamant about flat earth and than more adamant about geocentrism.

These extinction statistics scare the crap out of me and make me so sad.

I usually don't even comment on threads like this, not because they're not true or important, they're just so depressing to face up to.


Most of the 100+ species going extinct EVERYDAY aren't checking out because of global warming - the root cause is human overpopulation and habitat destruction.

7 billion is a ridiculously huge amount of hungry, destructive humans. It cannot go on.
