The extinction rate of species is already a thousand times higher than the average rate shown by the fossil record and is set to increase 10-fold in the next 50 years.Are there any knowledgeable freepers available to verify or condemn the above "fact". It smells like BS to me but I am not well informed on this subject.

Agreed. Will somebody please name the 1300 "leading scientists" and provide their credentials and political leanings?

In 50 years, most of us won't be here to check the prediction out.

You know, if things are truly as bad as they say then lets just chuck every conservation effort out and party like its 1999.

Nott to worry. judge Greer and his fellow travelers have started a
program designed to escalate and halve the population within the next fifty years.

Just a friendly heads up that we're all going to die. I am not going to worry. I have just been assured on another thread that we are all going to die of the flu in the next few years.

I'll cancel my subscriptions and notify the landlord that I'll be vacating.

Don't worry about any of it. Predictions for bird flu say our numbers will be reduced by billions.
