Earth Entering First Mass Extinction Since Dinosaurs, Scientists Say (5 picture)

1 Scientists Warn that A New Extinction Is Occuring

Scientists state that the rate of vertebrate extinction is much higher than normal, in fact it is more than 100 times quicker than expected.  

 2 The Years are Passing Rapidly for Many Species

It is estimated that many species which would normally take between 800 and 10,000 years to become extinct have disappeared within the last 100 years.

 3 Blame it on the Humans

Of course, when rates of extinction are compared to times before humans were on the planet, it can only be concluded that human activity is fueling the extinction.

 4 Fearmongering or Legit Science?

There is much controversy surrounding issues about overfishing and hunting, so you must read the evidence and conclude just how much action we should take to save these species.

 5 What Can We Do to Help?

The advice has and remains the same, yet species seem to continue to diminish: reduce your carbon footprint, eat less meat, don't buy fur. Got it? Good.
