I am reading about the extinction of the earth, “U.N. urges world to slow extinctions: 3 each hour†Reuters and heard this before but got to say this is a little ridiculous.
The article speaks of how we, the human race, is killing all these species at a rate of 3 plant and animal species disappear from the earth every hour according to some UN ‘expert’. We must stop this horrific devistation of the earth at all cost!
"We are indeed experiencing the greatest wave of extinctions since the disappearance of the dinosaurs, said Ahmed Djoghlaf, head of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity. Dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago, perhaps after a meteorite struck.
Extinction rates are rising by a factor of up to 1,000 above natural rates. Every hour, three species disappear. Every day, up to 150 species are lost. Every year, between 18,000 and 55,000 species become extinct, he said.â€
OK, 18,000 to 55,000 a year just vanish and at this rate taking the worst case scenario, the earth will be barren in my life time … or will it?
There is an inclusion of virus, fungus and bacteria life forms among the other single cell creatures if you read the info on the UN site. Moving from one room to another may kill ten species or none, who knows.
Then there is global warming or what is now called climate change.
Scary.
And it seems that climate changes are all natural, meaning not caused by humans, which in turn also force changes the way animals live which means that animals need to adapt or die. Isn’t this the Darwinian Theory behind the evolution, adapt or die thing anyway that is held in such high esteem? The climate of the earth is supposed to change, that is the design of the earth – read the manual people.
Well anyway reading the UN stuff is rather getting tiring. I mean ok global warming is here, but with the world the way it is and the UN leading the blame game against the US for all of it; I have a problem with the twisted religion of global warming and a lack of real scientific research to determine actual cause and effect of the climate change. Reading all of this and seeing it that there is possibility that we will be without animal and plant life soon when we are killing up to 55,000 species a year which will be the up and coming propaganda to brainwash the kids all points to the need for more funding of the UN projects more than true conservation.
So you care about the earth? Plant a tree.
