Current extinction rate is shocking, scientists say.
Even conservative calculations show the world is in the midst of a sixth mass extinction that's being caused by our species — and is likely to lead to humanity's demise if unchecked, scientists reported Friday.
The scientists' analysis, published in the open-access journal Science Advances, follows up on more than a decade's worth of warnings about a rapid loss of global biodiversity. Many experts say the loss has risen to the scale seen during five previous global extinction events — the most recent of which occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs died off.
Or Conservatives. They don't believe in science anyway, so they'll never see it coming.
Unless we change our enviornmentally destructive ways, and soon, I don't think there's any doubt that humans will eventually kill ourselves off. It just a matter of how and how soon.
