CBS news ^ | July 10, 2017

Over the last half-billion years, scientists say there have been five mass extinction events on Earth in which a wide diversity of species on this planet suddenly died off. Now, there's growing evidence that a sixth mass extinction is unfolding, according to scientists who track species around the globe. In a new study, researchers say the current mass extinction is even "more severe than perceived" and amounts to "biological annihilation" affecting thousands of species.

If you read far enough into the article it is claimed that agw is the culprit. Just more of AlGore’s crap.

These people should just bugger off. If things are that bad, maybe they should all go to Jonestown and drink the Kool Aid.

Death, destruction, devastation, dismemberment, whatever will we do?

Globull warming and mass extinction are in a race to destroy the world.

Glad I'm old :)

More fake news and hysteria sensationalism for nothing.
The earth isn’t going through a mass extinction.

I know about yellowstone. That isnt what they are talking about. They are talking about species die off right now. Which has been going on forever. Stuff has come and gone we dont even know about.

There is nothing anyone can do about it if it blows.

But that is true about any number of earth changing catastrophes that can occur. Watch the ten episode Doomsday series to get an idea of other ones.

Hyping these species dieoffs is no different than the fake hype of manmade global warming.

This has been going on for 10,000 years. Witness the death of all the megafauna around the world within a few generations of human hunters arriving.
