We are Near the ‘Sixth Extinction’

Journalist Elizabeth Kolbert’s book The Sixth Extinction won this year’s Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction. We talked with her about what these new results might reveal for the future of life on this planet. Is there any chance we can put the brakes on this massive loss of life? Are humans destined to become casualties of our own environmental recklessness?

The new study that's generated so much conversation estimates that as many as three-quarters of animal species could be extinct within human lifetimes, which sounds incredibly alarming.
We mostly can’t see it around us, and too few of us seem to care — but nonetheless, scientists are increasingly convinced that the world is barreling towards what has been called a “sixth mass extinction” event. Simply put, species are going extinct at a rate that far exceeds what you would expect to see naturally, as a result of a major perturbation to the system.

In this case, the perturbation is us — rather than, say, an asteroid. As such, you might expect to see some patterns to extinctions that reflect our particular way of causing ecological destruction. And indeed, a new study published Wednesday in Science magazine confirms this. For the world’s oceans, it finds, threats of extinction aren’t apportioned equally among all species — rather, the larger ones, in terms of body size and mass, are uniquely imperiled right now.

From sharks to whales, giant clams, sea turtles, and tuna, the disproportionate threat to larger marine organisms reflects the “unique human propensity to cull the largest members of a population,” the authors write.

More self-guilt bullshit, I'm guessing. How much does the book talk about fake global warming?

200 species a day are going extinct not just big ones either.

We are so fucked.

Loss of habitat is going to take humans down.

Droughts and floods and weather and we wont be able to keep feeding everybody.

Were done and not just in 50 years. Not 20 years. try under 10 years people. Its over soon.

Bad news, she's right but for the wrong reasons. The only truly REAL Doom thread that exists, is The Riddle thread over at S0.

It's written by a terminally ill person under the alias CindyDiesintheEnd, on behalf of a larger group of scientists, some from NASA,s JPL called the Cindies.

Everything is hard data, scientific literature, and actual pieces of presentations given to private audiences that were not and are not public.

CindyDiesintheEnd is pretty much universally disliked as she tends to eviserate any poor soul that doesn't think before posting on that thread, but I suspect from having chronic pain myself, that some of that is from being very ill. She or he has a great deal of money, so that person does a lot of off the books procedures that have prolonged life.

In any event, CDITERIDDLE says,

Everything happening over the past several hundred years is consistent with the end of an interglacial. As if that's not bad enough, we are not only in the midst of a pole shift (pole shifts can take hundreds of years, it's not a B movie), but the trajectory of our Sun, as our solar system races thru the universe, has shifted about + /- 4-6 degrees just in our life times. (See P. Frisch article on A Change in the Interstellar wind).

They used the measurements of the shift in direction of helium ions in the interstellar medium from the Ullyseus mission and IBEX to determine this. While there are some disagreement between Frisch and another scientist Redfield over how close we are to leaving the local interstellar cloud we are traveling thru, the current data suggests the heliosphere may already be exiting the LIC, and the Sun will be out anywhere between 30 to 3500 years.

Data posted by the Cindies say 30-50, tops. When we exit the LIC, We will enter a different type of interstellar medium than previously encountered.

Pulling this all together, some scientific literature has shown that Extinctions are cyclical and seem to be related to a perfect alignment of seemingly unrelated intergalactic lottery like events.

There is no dispute that our Sun is going into a Grand Solar Minimum. As the Sun goes quiet, solar winds diminish and our heliosphere, which our Sun creates weakens and in some cases has shrunk. (Are current space missions are studying those scenarios, like for real people). When the heliosphere weakens, our Earth's magnetosphere also weakens. On an immediate level, thus means increased cancer rates as more cosmic rays, which we were previously shielded from, hit our bodies.

CDITE states that Climate change is real, but not in the way boobus liberalcanuses understand. When you mix conditions such as a Sun transitioning into a different type of interstellar medium, along with a weakening Sun entering a Grand Minimum, and it's weakening solar winds, heliosphere and magnetosphere here at Earth, with an atmosphere that is having to contend with temperature variations at different levels, along with our magnetic pole changes, the only conclusion that stands out as clear as day to an unemotional, scientist is that this exacerbates atmospheric Upswelling.

(That's fancy talk for your breathable air venting into space)

So yeah, in 30-50 years we better hope Bezos gets the space colonies going. Because the ABOVE is what you aren't being told.



These extinctions, erratic weather, increasing cloud cover, increasing extinctions and changes to atmospheric and wind patterns are consistent with Earth entering a glacial inception into a human killing Ice Age. ( which, btw, our planet spends the majority of its time in, over millions of years)

All of this has happened before and all of it shall happen again.

Read that thread if you are up to a real dose of real doom. It gets scarier.

I don't care, this humanity deserves to be erased at 100%

MANKIND DESERVES TO BECOME EXTINCT!!!! PERIOD!!! I CAN'T GET ANY ENJOYMENT OUT OF THIS WORLD, CAN'T GET GOOD SEX, CAN'T GET GIRLFRIEND, THE SMALL paycheck I'M EARNING IS QUICKLY BECOMING WORTHLESS AS THE DAYS PAST BY ,NO THANKS TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ELITES!!!!


APOCALYPSE TODAY WOULD BE IDEAL!!!!

that's not evidence...these claimed extinctions are contrived and delusional based on no real verifiable science

Oh really.

Yes, but it makes for a cool story in support of the batshit crazy depopulation agenda of the globalists.
