Thats it? We gotta get to work.

Deforestation and loss of habitat

Why is is our jobs as humans to preserve species? The Earth has been around for a long time and there have been mass extintions before. Extintions are good. Imagine if the dinosaurs hadn't gone extint how our world would be today. I don't think dinosaurs would care about humans going extint if they were around.

Add one more; if it is so bad I'm sure mankind is on the list too. Boo Hoo.

There may be 17,291 species out of 47,677 assessed species, or 36 percent, are threatened with extinction. But I think their new species count is a little low - "information on more than 2,800 additional species has been added in 2009. This includes more than 1,300 previously unassessed dragonflies and damselflies, of which the IUCN recently completed a major new study."

Finding New Species:
The Golden Age of Discovery
Aided by new access to remote regions, researchers have been discovering new species at a record pace 16,969 in 2006 alone. The challenge now is to preserve threatened ecosystems before these species, and others yet unknown, are lost.

do a search and see what you can find.

Too bad MemberisIdioticus isn't endangered. Would be a Good Thing to see you and your ilk be permanently removed from the life cycle.

So catolico, this is nothing but a liberal plot for vote getting? That the other lifeforms on this planet are not at risk?

What could be worse?

More bloviating sky is falling rhetoric from you?

"do you use it ZAT?"

No, shit-for-brains, I use what my dentist recommends.

Good, I follow the same policy in terms of climatology. My climatologist recommends I continue to use resources at my current rate as it benefits my family the most and harms the earth very little if at all.

Glad we can agree that the majority opinion is not the one we always need to follow ZATHOLE.

"Liberals need a "crisis" or their votes die out."

Just today I heard a Republican Congresswoman saying health care reform will be worse than 9-11.

The last time humanity walked this path, we were very lucky.
We also had much smaller, more isolated populations.

For far too long, the argument has been to cause. Roughly one sixth of the planet is thirsty, with billions more at risk in the near term?
Just to that point- What then?
The needs are great, with no solutions even on the table.

Today is a good day to die!
