Experts: Human Race Will Soon Be Extinct
Finally some good news. We may not have to worry about the catastrophic consequences of letting the government run up an $18 trillion debt. If the irresponsible fools who have been looting the future kick the can down the road for just a few generations, we can get out from under the debt without going through national bankruptcy — but only if global warming doomsayers are notcompletely full of crap:
Humans will be extinct in 100 years because the planet will be uninhabitable, said the late Australian microbiologist Frank Fenner, one of the leaders in the effort to eradicate smallpox during the 1970s. He blamed overcrowding, denuded resources and climate change.Fenner’s prediction, made in 2010, is not a sure bet, but he is correct that there is no way emissions reductions will be enough to save us from our trend toward doom. And there doesn’t seem to be any big global rush to reduce emissions, anyway. When the G7 called on Monday for all countries to reduce carbon emissions to zero in the next 85 years, the scientific reaction was unanimous: That’s far too late.
Fenner certainly knows how to get the media’s attention. No doubt this will help his institution obtain grants.
Hold on Fenner, I hear a voice shouting, “Me too!”
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.
To make it big in the science world these days, you have to have a flair for the melodramatic:
“There are examples of species all over the world that are essentially the walking dead,” Ehrlich said.
Yes, it is that Paul Ehrlich — author of the hysterical 1968 screed The Population Bomb, which made him a celebrity with its flamboyant prognostications of doom, all of which were proven not only false but laughably false. It took decades for him to live it down. Now a new generation of suckers has come along.
Since it is too late to save the human race anyway, authoritarian leftists should stopping using global warming as a pretext to come after our wealth and freedom.
SCALIA'S MAD AS HELL: Sounds like he's not going to take it anymore, either.
