We are entering a mass extinction that threatens humanity's existence, researchers have declared.
Researchers say a new study shows 'without any significant doubt' that we are entering the sixth great mass extinction on earth.
The study says that the window for conserving threatened species is rapidly closing.
The study shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event,' said Paul Ehrlich, the Bing Professor of Population Studies in biology and a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment who led the research.
The new study, published in the journal Science Advances, shows that even with extremely conservative estimates, species are disappearing up to about 100 times faster than the normal rate between mass extinctions, known as the background rate....
Despite the gloomy outlook, there is a meaningful way forward, according to Ehrlich and his colleagues.
'Avoiding a true sixth mass extinction will require rapid, greatly intensified efforts to conserve already threatened species, and to alleviate pressures on their populations – notably habitat loss, over-exploitation for economic gain and climate change,' the study's authors write.
In the meantime, the researchers hope their work will inform conservation efforts, the maintenance of ecosystem services and public policy....

hopefully it take the Liberal progressives ,communists , muslims and the ‘diversity bunch’ first .... that would thin things out by a couple of billion nicely
: )
I see you're a conservationist (as it is meant to be defined) fighting the eco-Nazis - the massive network that's all those interconnected liberal groups that J.R. Dunn calls the "liberal superstructure" - Democrats Unveil the Weapon of the Future
Back then and before I ever got in the game, guys like Rick Sieman had been active for yeaars trying to get people to even accept these groups existed. And most people refused to believe it. They were determined to believe that the Greenies were just misguided bunny huggers and college kids looking to have a cause.
Very few saw them for what they were. The Dave Foremans, the Dave Wheelers, the Rod Coronados were all just thought od as no big deal.
I would highly people bone up on Agenda 21 and the subsection known as “The Wildlands Project. This official part of the Official UN agenda calls for a total population of the US of under 500,000 people. It is not a joke. It is Policy.
For people that think it’s a joke, read the WP , look at their maps and then overlay them with current land use closures. They are implementing it. Fully. And the timetable in now under 60 years IIRC.
Now ask yourself how exactly you reduce the American population to under 500K without disease, starvation or global war.
The article seems to be advocating total control by a global government, with an end to national borders. Reduce everyone (except the elite, of course) to a lower standard of living "to save the planet".
Kill us to save us. What a plan.
"A common enemy to unite us"
....Around the same time, influential anthropologist and president of the American Medical Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Margaret Mead, gathered together like-minded anti-population hoaxsters at her 1975, North Carolina conference, “The Atmosphere: Endangered and Endangering”. Mead’s star recruits were climate scare artist Stephen Schneider, population-freak George Woodwell and former AAAS head, John Holdren (currently President Barack Obama’s Science and Technology Czar). All three of them disciples of Malthusian catastrophist Paul Ehrlich, author of the “The Population Bomb”.
If these animals were not already under pressure naturally there is nothing on earth we could do to get rid of them (think cockroaches)
Man can speed up the process of extinction but can not and does not cause the factors which threatened them to begin with.
I wouldn’t worry about it.... a comet or asteroid is going to hit us and destroy life on the planet before the temperature changes that much... or the ragheads are going to nuke everyone.... or aliens are going to invade and kill everyone..... or the sun is going to blow up and destroy earth..... or our universe is going to be absorbed by a parallel universe and destroy us.... or....
Human cities have never been cleaner than they are at this time.
With ACA and the IRS controlling our health and our money, with the EPA and Global UN Climate Governance and it’s Social Justice message controlling how the planet’s resources are used, there will be no freedom. They are all seen by these “more equal pigs” as interdependent and thus each effects the other.
wow. Very well stated.
Once Again, another FReeper puts into words what I cant articulate.
That is the goal. The Germans used the Jews as an excuse.
America is going to use global warming, extinction, and if they have their way, Christianity.
I wish I was 27 instead of 47. I had a lot more fight in me.
And there is a battle brewing.
Even my own Pope stabbed me in the back.
3rd world populations flooding into 1st world nations and collapsing their welfare systems.
Cartman is awesome.
Don’t worry about the Pope. He is not the first political pope. The Medicis produced some humdingers back in the day. Ultimately they do not affect the Magisterium. You know, ir you reflect, there is a reason for such as Francis. We may not understand it now but later we will, or our children or grandchildren will. There is a Godly pope still alive and this pope is finally the pope that the Left has dreamed of, For once the pope turns out not to be Catholic. Somehow that will bite them. Already their great hopes and expectations about queer Coupling have evanesced.
Sure, but here’s the thing. Paulie and co. can program the minds emptied by the American Education system to believe about anything and set them to work offing people. But there are far more than 500,000 of the useful idiots and you can bet that they aren’t suicidal. They all intend to be one of the 500K.
However, once their cunning purge of deniers begins, they become targets themselves and exterminated as the enemy they are. And as stupid as most are, I think a significant number of the troops will see this early.
You also have to figure that most of said troops are anti gun, anti violence and basement dwellers that can’t make Ramen without reading the instructions. So when the slaughter starts, they are out at the first whiff. The classic ‘useful idiot’ thing.
Now you have one group with all the power and force of the US Govt with a bipartisan excuse to come down hard. And anyone that says no way really needs to bone up on the history of Nazi Germany, China, and the Soviet union. It CAN happen here because the people now occupying DC in both parties are largely communist themselves.
Good Lord. You’re right.
The Catholic church is now aligned with obummer on climate change and distribution of wealth.
How’d that work out in Africa after apartheid.

“.... Given problems such as global warming, unending road building that causes urban sprawl, and overpopulation related to over-dependence on petroleum for agriculture, would you advocate the formation of citizen petroleum councils? These would utilize industry expertise to identify threats to sustainability, and be created on local to international levels to arrive at solutions.
Teresa Heinz Kerry’s] response was that such an idea was along the lines of what should be mandatory education. She felt that schools, PTAs and churches should be utilized for such initiatives as citizen petroleum councils, although she warned, Americans are busy. They also like to take care of matters when they feel like it, although they do deal with a crisis once they get going.
Well, the point of the Fallout video games was that the world’s countries both getting bankrupted and running out of oil resulted in the nuclear war in the first place. If anything, sufficient collapse in nations that possess nuclear weapons means a loss of reason against their use. Plus, Fallout is pretty heavily based on the Mad Max trilogy, where nuclear war occurred and the world was left in the Stone Age.
Right. But the end result is an almost feral people in a preindustrial world scavenging to survive and trying to rebuild while roving gangs of liberals try enslaving, robbing and killing them. How the fallout world got to it’s state isn’t my point so much as what happened after the war.
Man still thinks he has and can control
