World wildlife 'falls by 58% in 40 years'
    #23776018 - 10/27/16 09:25 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Quote:

Global wildlife populations have fallen by 58% since 1970, a report says.

The Living Planet assessment, by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and WWF, suggests that if the trend continues that decline could reach two-thirds among vertebrates by 2020.

The figures suggest that animals living in lakes, rivers and wetlands are suffering the biggest losses.

Human activity, including habitat loss, wildlife trade, pollution and climate change contributed to the declines.

Dr Mike Barrett. head of science and policy at WWF, said: "It's pretty clear under 'business as usual' we will see continued declines in these wildlife populations. But I think now we've reached a point where there isn't really any excuse to let this carry on.

"We know what the causes are and we know the scale of the impact that humans are having on nature and on wildlife populations - it really is now down to us to act."

...

The researchers conclude that vertebrate populations are declining by an average of 2% each year, and warn that if nothing is done, wildlife populations could fall by 67% (below 1970 levels) by the end of the decade.

That's horrible.

Sometimes I wonder if the best thing for the planet is if a huge asteroid would annihilate most of the humans, and we had to start over from scratch.

Glyphosate is safe, GMOs are safe,  humans can't contribute to climate change.  There's nothing to see here folks. move along.
