This was not meant as a ping for your list, just for your interest. If you like, I can remove you from the "Humans are the cause of all Earthly disasters" ping list...

"Animals" to them and freakin BUGS, toads, and worms. These nuts want to run the world, control every aspect of your life.""

If you want to read about a "control" issue, look up NAIS- National Animal Identification System. They will be very intrusive, and make you complicit in your own prosecution, violating both the 4th and 5th amandment to the Constitution.
We must all work to stop this NOW. It is so far under the radar, it is like being in a tunnel.

""Dinosaurs" never really went extinct if you consider today's alligators, crocodiles, Gila lizards, Komodo dragons, etc. to be their direct progeny. Even little geckos and salamanders :)"

That's true if you follow evolutionists thinking. They just 'evolved and got smaller. The miget gene took over the whole works. Bat's actually had 40 foot wingspans at one time.

What the UN needs to do is get all their evolutionists lined up and on the same page. If we really look, we can see that there are actually MORE species today than there were 500 years ago.

And didn't someone discover a whole bunch of new species in a cave a few months back? Also, there were dicoveries of "new" species in the ocean recently as well, and ina remote jungle in India. We have MORE species, not LESS!!!

This UN propaganda is in conflict with discovies made just this year!

If we're so good at it, why can't we make the UN extinct?

I'd prefer to be moved to the subset of that list, the one that starts out: "The UN says ..."

With our current technology, would it be possible to divert a small asteroid so that it lands on the UN building?

It's always other human beings who are causing these calamities, never the ones who are heard complaining....

Golly geez, well...I'm afraid we'll all need to implement some form global socialism to address this serious matter.

America especially will need to submit to a world government run by...by...well, gee, I guess by the U.N.

Since its our unfair, evil, exploitative, rapacious, capitalist system that's causing all these problems in the first place...we'll of course want to have our government and taxation and legal systems subordinated to this new all-powerful global entity (especially our tax system).

The new global government can then get on with creating the glorious global utopia that America is currently blocking from coming into existence because of its incredible selfishness

[I could post the above commentary into EVERY thread started using some 'urgent' dispatch from the U.N.]

A rising human population of 6.5 billion was undermining the environment for animals and plants via pollution, expanding cities, deforestation, introduction of "alien species" and global warming, it said.

I just saw a thread yesterday that said that Europeans and in particular Germans are just not reproducing anymore. I guess we should find out who is doing it and make them stop.

844 species (mostly insects and plants) going extinct in the last 500 years is squat.

Man I hate how this "largest extinction event since the dinosaurs" has been spun into us for so many years. Even I was almost starting to believe it.

This is nothing. It is barely above "the normal mother nature at work" level that would be expected.

I am so tired of the misinformation that the environmental movement has spread over the years.

Does anyone know the last plant or animal to really go extinct?

There was the passenger pigeon in the US sometime in the 1800's. I am skeptical of any serious plantlife going extinct. But I have no idea what may or may not have gone belly up since.

As if dinosaurs really gave a skink's butt if they stepped on the last triple trilled turdnipper or not.

Check out the Permian if you want a REAL extinction. SHeesh!

...but they have a rectal repository that yields endless arbitrary numbers.

Beautiful phrase. I just might steal it...
