Sky is falling ping...
For my next trick, I'll make the UN extinct.
These people are insane.
Just adding "UN" to the title gives it a double laugh.
But wait. As interesting as all that has been,kind Sir.
You overlooked your bill.
The UN will require your country to pay $500 Billion for your country's damage to our world.
(Please make your payment in Eurodollars,thank you.)
It's the "science" of evolution. It has to be right.
You would think that the organization in the world with the biggest budget would have the smarts to hire competent experts.
They seem unaware that corelation almost never indicates causation.
Might as well blame man for periods of light and darkness...
Consider how many humans have eaten tomatoes and died... eventually.
How about wrist watches? Hitler wore one! Damn!
Of course, that didn't happen. In 1994, the World Conservation Union found known extinctions since 1600 to include only 258 animal species, 368 insect species and 384 vascular plants. Since the establishment of an endangered species list in the 1960s, only seven species have been declared extinct in the U.S.: four freshwater fish, a freshwater clam and two small birds. We mourn for them all, of course, including the clam, but we mourn all the more for the people duped by appalling scare tactics like those of Mr. Myers. Mr. Crichton gets the scare-mongers exactly right throughout "State of Fear."
Excellent book, BTW. I highly recommend it, especially for the bibliography and references.
We could collect that easily by forcing their diplomats to pay up on their parking fines.
And the solution is...hand over your paycheck to the UN and destroy the economies of the West.
BTW - They will excuse the "developing world", commies and dictatorships from complying. Why? The cost of saving the world is too great for the "downtrodden" to insist they pull their share of the load. In other words, economic factors are important only if you aren't the Great Satan.
Actually, they don't have a clue, but they have a rectal repository that yields endless arbitrary numbers.
80% of all living things which ever lived on earth are now extinct.
How do we know? We find their fossils and remains.
How long has man been in the picture? Perhaps 0.001% of the total period we can find evidence to study.
Fraud in science, affecting billions, should be a capital offense!
Too many people, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
Bush's fault.
I wonder of Mulder has heard about this,
Ditto for fear-mongering by the media.
The UN is full or kooks and criminals. All these NGO's that are supported by OUR tax dollars need to be kicked out of there.
"Animals" to them and freakin BUGS, toads, and worms. These nuts want to run the world, control every aspect of your life.
Just what is the problem with extinction anyway? Father Darwin is more than capable of repopulating the earth if need be.
Ah. And they know this how? They knew exactly how many species roamed the earth in the time of the dinosaurs? Man, these guys are GOOD!
