The purpose of this archive is to trace international news reports on the 6th great extinction. Not since the demise of the dinosaurs has this planet seen the destruction of so many species. Feel free to post any other articles you have come across that may help us better understand the speed and impact of this global environmental crisis.
Global Warming is Happening
From the poles of the Arctic to the forests of Asia, the planet's complex biological ecosystems are collapsing. With 6.5 billion people taking up 60% of the earth's surface, we are faced with the unenviable position of being the generation that may be responsible for our own demise. 40% of the earth's surface, however, is still wilderness, and global warming can be at least slowed down by international and local public policy. There is still a lot to save. But it goes beyond buying new products and consuming more "green friendly" goods. It starts with understanding that we are animals who are completely dependent on this complex web of life.
Biologists have acknowledged that we may survive climate change, but we will not survive biological collapse or mass species extinction. The answer to our survival doesn't just lie in technology, but also family planning (at least a zero population growth) and massive cuts in resource consumption. A revolution in modern economies, modern living, and modern consciousness is needed if we are to survive this Frankenstein we call American modernization.
