ZZZZZZZ, same stuff we're been hearing for the last few decades. All fluff and no meat in the article. Gonna need more than that.

We're changing the environment so slowly we only notice it over the course of decades. Things have changed far faster before and the Earth didn't go spinning into the sun.

I know! Lets double the human population again and see what happens. That way we'll know for sure.

I rarely eat fish, so I'm not worried about it.

Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture.

For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human's lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!

It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It's like a couple are having 30 babies even though it's just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too!

Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!

The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.

Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.

The humans? The planet does not need humans.

This sounds to me like we're going to kill off everything else and have to make replicators.

Anyone else find it odd for an Asian to complain about this?

If you think about it, to the planet humans are a cancer.

Consuming resources, generating toxic output, just like cancer cells do. And spreading rapidly, just like cancer cells do.

If you think about it.

You mean, like, other countries, right? Cuz this? This here, this is America. It's my God-given right to fark like a bunny, and damn the consequences.

Wait, I thought we were a virus? That's what Agent Smith said anyway, and I always believe him...

As far as I can tell, nobody really cares what we do the planet, or other people.

Even if there are some people interested in creating a better world they are completely overpowered by the force of those making profits from the control of land and natural resources.

Maybe this is just some horrific growing pain that we have to pass through on our way to the future or maybe the near destruction of the human race is the only good thing to look forward to.

Humans are not even half as toxic as when plants started releasing oxygen and killing everything else at the time.

Farking != childbearing. Americans aren't having kids like bunnies. In fact, the only reason the population of the US is increasing is immigration. For those born in the US, the population is actually decreasing--just like it is in most of the developed world.

The last mass extinction was an estimated 65 million years ago when an asteroid smashed into Mexico and wiped out the dinosaurs, making room for mammals to thrive

I thought this was just a theory. Was it accepted as fact and I missed it? I always miss the good stuff.

"and of course the squirrels" That has to be Fark code.
My theory, He was gorgor and the bannition pushed him over the edge.

/didn't say it was a good one.

From TFA

"It's safe to say that we have not yet lost nearly as much as what was lost during that event but it's also reasonable to say that we could end up losing as much as was lost in that event."


SCIENCE!

I miss gorgor so much. Where's the thrill in browsing fark without the hit or miss eye-melting fun that were gorgor links?

Luckily technology will save us all. With the advent of the internet, social networking, computer consoles and smart phones, humans will be too pre-occupied talking to each other through screens to be able to make babies. I have a feeling that the next generations will start to completely forget how to interact socially. The men and women of the future will be too frightened of each other in real life to be able to procreate.

"...and biologists widely agree the world is currently suffering from another."

As a matter of fact, no, we don't.

I know you're trolling, but I genuinely enjoyed this post.

Got a link to your published research? Any unpublished findings you'd care to share?
