How about you tell me which animal is not so plentiful now as it was in some distant past you are imagining? Dinosaurs and unicorns don't count.
And btw barts, I know this is not my forum and I know you are a donor but if it was mine I would find this thread to be spamming because it's only a repeat of an existing thread. Why did you start it anyway? |
The capacity of earth to support life has diminished since human beings became industrialized, and possibly before. What is happening now is being referred to as the "
sixth great extinction event". See also "
The Sixth Extinction" and
Holocene extinction. That some species, particularly those that scavenge on human societies, are increasing does not negate the fact that human impact is overall diminishing life on earth.
As for starting this thread, let me say a few things. It would appear that you did not read the opening post. Any of us, under the rules, can start any thread we like. If you have problem with me starting this thread, please honor the rules and report me to the moderators.
I wonder, too, what so upsets you about the fact that I help financially support volconvo? Does it offend you that someone would "pay" for a service and an opportunity to debate issues of the day?
