Between Overfishing, deforestation, and mass loss of habitat the study contends that we're in the middle of a mass extinction:

This coincides with an earlier study that states half of all species will be gone by the mid of the century

Is there any way to reverse this or is humanity just a massive pile of shit?What do you think the future holds for the natural world, and is there anything we can do to stop deforestation/their loss of habitat?

Unfortunately it's going to have to get REALLY bad before the masses unit to try and improve things.

No, deniers will still think Jesus is coming back to take them to heaven. So they'll never feel the need to do anything about it.

Those people are almost as bad as the "the planet is in God's hands", which is just such a lazy, irresponsible and cowardly copout.

We need a 50 year moratorium on fishing. The fish have to replenish.

Scientists believe that mankind itself won't last long in the future due to combination of various factors.

Perhaps the ongoing extinction event will take us with it.

Fish do taste good though, I'm torn. Why did God make them so tasty?

Proof that if God does indeed exist he's a dick.

The planet IS in 'god's hands' in the sense that, there's nothing we as a species can really do in the case if a mass extinction event.
To US it would be a MAE.
To the earth it'd be less than a blink.

Man may come and man may go but earth abides.

King Kandy (I miss him) said he believed that God exists and is a malevolent entity. Makes sense if you add up the evidence from a certain perspective.

I can't tell if that is also proof God is a dick or proof that he doesn't exist.
