Sixth mass extinction is here: US study
AFP

Miami (AFP) - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims.


Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley. The study "shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event," said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology.
And humans are likely to be among the species lost, said the study -- which its authors described as "conservative" -- published in the journal Science Advances.

"If it is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover and our species itself would likely disappear early on," said lead author Gerardo Ceballos of the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico. The analysis is based on documented extinctions of vertebrates, or animals with internal skeletons such as frogs, reptiles and tigers, from fossil records and other historical data. The modern rate of species loss was compared to the "natural rates of species disappearance before human activity dominated."

It can be difficult to estimate this rate, also known as the background rate, since humans don't know exactly what happened throughout the course of Earth's 4.5 billion year history. For the study, researchers used a past extinction rate that was twice as high as widely used estimates. If the past rate was two mammal extinctions per 10,000 species per 100 years, then the "average rate of vertebrate species loss over the last century is up to 114 times higher than it would be without human activity, even when relying on the most conservative estimates of species extinction," said the study.

"We emphasize that our calculations very likely underestimate the severity of the extinction crisis because our aim was to place a realistic lower bound on humanity's impact on biodiversity."
The causes of species loss range from climate change to pollution to deforestation and more.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, about 41 percent of all amphibian species and 26 percent of all mammals are threatened with extinction.

"There are examples of species all over the world that are essentially the walking dead," Ehrlich said.
The study called for "rapid, greatly intensified efforts to conserve already threatened species, and to alleviate pressures on their populations -- notably habitat loss, over-exploitation for economic gain and climate change."
That's a very alarmist article, frankly. They give no definite reason at all to think humans are going to be among the species going extinct. Don't think I'm defending extinctions, but basically, some frogs or monkeys going extinct aren't too likely to have a direct impact on people. Although I do find the bee die-off worrisome.

I see a lot of it as simply being a natural and inevitable effect of humanity's spread across the face of the planet. More resources going towards making humans means less resources for making other critters. As long as the human population continues to expand, other populations will necessarily contract. There's really no way to change that without radical social shifts like putting hard controls on human breeding. And those rarely work. (Just ask China.)

If you want to look for a silver lining here, though, consider that this means there are fewer 2D life forms and more 3D forms. From what Ra says, in the grand scheme such a transition is actually desirable. Lots of higher-density 3D entities are needed for the 4D transition. This may even be, more or less, what the spiritual evolution of a planet looks like, with "lower" 2D forms transitioning into 3D while losing their old forms like a snake shedding its skin as it grows.
I'm not sure if you are a fan of Kryon but I was just listening to The video Raz posted and he addresses this in the first 12 minutes. it makes sense to me, I think some of it does seem unnatural though, but maybe that unnaturalness is also part of the transition.
Death is as crucial to life as birth. The 'breath' of a species (on a particular planet) is similar to that of a single life of a member of said species. Again, akin to the Cosmic year and so on.

Cyclical. Infinite. Divine :¬)
There is currently a mass extinction event in progress, one caused by humanity's influence on the environment.

If/when we as a species learn to live in harmony with nature this will balance out.
DEATH MAKES PEOPLE DISAPPEAR??????????????????????
Nothing is ever truly lost even if it can seem that way from this perspective... From this perspective we also used to feel that the earth was flat and the sun was in orbit around the earth... I feel the assumption of loss is found very funny in higher perspective =)


Could everyone eventually evolving into a language of music and non musical that is, non two brainsided langauge slowly dissapears.

Could this song be how we all evole to the 4th? Smile
