#1 rule for liberals - RULE BY FEAR, doesn't matter how you do it, just be in control of the sheeples!
go to my profile page and go to links.... Massive uncoverings of U.N. B.S.
Attitude? read about U.N. Agenda 21 here.
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.
Your guess is as good as theirs, probably better.
How much money did this UN funded study cost, where did it come from, and who pocketed the leftover change?
There is absolutely no way to know this. There have been many thousands of species that have appeared and died and we do not even know about them. The fossil record is not complete. In fact the fossil record we know of is just a small small small portion of the record of life that existed and died on this earth. Pure Bravo Sierra
At the end of the Permian, and again at the end of the Cretaceceous there were huge events which account for some 90% of species which died out.
Spread that over 600 million years, and you have really thinned the 'average' numbers down.
So, "a thousand times higher than the average rate shown by the fossil record" is rendered a meaningless comparison, and "is set to increase 10-fold in the next 50 years." is wildeyed speculation.
Unless they are having the spotted owl in wine sauce for dinner every night, that is...
These and other "facts" from the eco-freaks are largely imaginary. One example I recall was a sort of confession among friends by an environmentalist working for the Gov on the spotted owl habitat.
He admitted that to determine the expanse of critical habitat, they simply went for a drive through the area, and whatever countryside "looked like" good owl country to them was included in the "scientific" study's findings.
Many lumbering jobs, and the lives of families they supported, were ripped up by a couple of punks' afternoon drive through the woods.
Do you not remember the teachings of public school? How many species are going extinct everyday I can't remember, but the number was staggering. The "scientists" have been lying for decades, now they are trying to see if they have planted enough seeds to buffalo the people into giving away their power to a worldwide authority, which will of course save us from ourselves.
