We’ve Entered the Age of Mass Extinction: Goodbye Fish and a Whole Lot More
“I wrote a book in 1994 called The End of Evolution: A Journey in Search of Clues to the Third Mass Extinction Facing Earth that said, within in a decade or two, we’d be seeing these monumental destructions, and people laughed at it,” Ward explained by phone from Seattle. “I wrote a book just last year about sea-level rise called The Flooded Earth: Our Future in a World Without Ice Caps, saying that things look pretty desperate for the next 60 to 80 years and got almost no reviews. Luckily, I’m not going to be alive to see the worst of it. But the sad thing is that it’s horrible to be right, just horrible. Somebody gave me the foresight to see what’s coming, and I don’t like it.” (LEARN MORE)

We are in a lot of trouble. I think that if we don’t adapt, we are on that list. We are not going to like a torrid earth, no matter that the GOP says. We are not adapted for a torrid earth.
The atmosphere will change, and we are evolved to breath this mix of air in a certain range of humidity.
That is going to change, and we are not going to like that, at all.

Most of us who look at resource diminution have realised for many years that mass extinctions in the quite near future are inevitable. The only possible stopping would be if we devise a monetary system in which money does not earn interest. With world globalisation and control of governments by corporates there is little chance of any action to stop our rush to destruction. The world will be fortunate if it does not turn into a hot planet without any water. Perhaps 100 years or therabouts may well see the end of life on earth unless the cockroaches can adapt. We should somehow try to control the overreaching power of worldwide corporates if we want to save the world.
