World is about to end… Earth’s
sixth mass extinction on the way
Cancel your Saturday night plans and start stockpiling supplies, we’re on course for our sixth great extinction.
Yes, the Earth is facing its next mass extinction far sooner than expected, a group of scientists in the US has found.
The study, looking at species extinction rates, suggests the decline of the world as we know it is happening TEN times faster than expected.
The Duke University scientists found that species are dying out at a rate of 1,000 in every million each year – far greater than the 100 expected rate.
And before humans came along that rate was only one in one million, according to a similar study in 1995.
Stuart Pimm, the lead researcher for the study, said: ‘We are on the verge of the sixth extinction.
‘Whether we avoid it or not will depend on our actions.’
Pimm believes that the decline of natural habitats in favour of construction is fuelling the rise.
The study was published in the Journal Science – so its pretty legit (we think).
He didn’t give us a time frame so the pessimists we are, we’re guessing it could happen at any moment.

अब मानव के आने से इतना फरक तो पढने ही वाला था ... मानव को भी तो कुछ ख़ास करना ही था ... हाँ स्थिति गंभीर है ... हो सकता है मानव जाग भी जाए और अपने विन्ध्वंस की रफ़्तार कम कर दे ... राम राम जी ...
मानव को अब तो सचेत हो जाना चाहिए..
