CBS:
Over the last half-billion years, scientists say there have been five mass extinction events on Earth in which a wide diversity of species on this planet suddenly died off. Now, there's growing evidence that a sixth mass extinction is unfolding, according to scientists who track species around the globe. In a new study, researchers say the current mass extinction is even "more severe than perceived" and amounts to "biological annihilation" affecting thousands of species.

Trouble is that most peorple are too ignorant to know and care about these things.
Let's face it: as long as there's news about kim kardashian shaking her big ass or justin beiber flips a cop on the highway in his lamborgini.....who'd want to know or do anything about the extinction of life..............I am convinced that humans are their own worst enemy on this rock and that will come to fuition, sooner or later........the planet will move on as if humans were just a bad chapter, or a page, in this case!
Not global warming crab again!!!!! Lets burn more coal and remove regulations.
Ironically, though not surprising, the new defense/war bill in congress supported by nearly all Republicans recognizes and increases spending for the effect of global warming in the arctic and its impact to conduct war.

so there we go! At the end of the day nature has the ultimate power and if extinction is going happen it will happen. Its the arrogance of man kind that thinks he or she can control forces of nature by driving a silly Toyota Pirus, 40 miles an hour blocking the traffic with a bumber stiker "John Keey for president"
Hey, don’t mock my Prius and FYI, I get at least 44.3 MPG but you are right, I should buy that Hummer with the 8 MPG to help Saudis and Exxon sell more oil

MRX- The difference is the rate at which it is happening. Things that would take thousands of years are happening in less than a hundred years. The short time period deprives the species to adapt, or for other species to thrive and take the pleace of the ones that go instinct. That's the issue.
Fun fact: by 2050 we will have more plastic in our oceans than fish.

Get your self a real car! Doesn't have to be a hummer but get some thing more manly!

Would it make you feel better if instead of say a hundreds of year say it takes ten thousand years? I have no feelings about it one way or another. bottom line nature always prevails!
This whole global warming business is all about money, meaning some few smart and influential people will be making ton of money fleecing avergae joe out there who fears life will be coming to an end any minute, and the worst part all the money feelced wouldn't do anything for the enviroment!
Let's not be so negative! As the ice melts and big chunks of the Antarctica breaks away, we have fresh and brand new real estate on both poles where we can build new condominiums, golf courses and shopping malls!
Oh yes, a “real” car should make me feel manly!
Perhaps a tRump tower in one or both poles
