Remember back in 2012, December to be exact, when the Maya told us that all would change and you woke up the next day and VIOLA!  Nothing had changed, remember that?

Since some hairy dude living in a cave looked up and saw a comet and knew that the world was ending and it was only a matter of time…….well that prediction has been made over and over and over…..and we are still hear…..waiting.

There have been movie after movie about the “End of Life Event” on Earth….some were better than others…..but in the end…..we are still here…….now ask…..how much longer will we still be here?

Feeling upbeat? Enough of that: Planet Earth is undergoing a sixth mass extinction that will likely annihilate the human race unless we can curb the trend, scientists say. According to a new paper, the current rate of species extinction outpaces the natural rate far more than anyone knew, NBC News reports. The analysis “employed better knowledge” of Earth’s natural extinction rate, the Guardian reports, upping the number from one extinction per million species annually to two extinctions. It then compared that to a current extinction rate that study authors consider conservative. Presto, they got a rate since 1900 that’s eight to 100 times worse than the natural one. “We were very surprised to see how bad it is,” says study leader Gerardo Ceballos. “This is very depressing.”

“If it is allowed to continue, life would take millions of years to recover, and our species itself would disappear early on,” says Ceballos. But nations can reverse the crisis—which has been linked to deforestation, industrialization, and other human factors—by conserving threatened species and lowering pressures on their populations, the paper says. So far critics seem to buy the paper’s basic math but doubt that species extinction will continue at this high rate for centuries. “It is likely the problem will decline rapidly because most countries will be rich and care much for the natural world,” writes one environmentalist. Earth has seen five other mass extinctions, including one 443 million years ago that killed off 83% of sea life, and the most recent, which wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, the Telegraph notes.

This planet is slowly dying and whether you blame climate change or Obama……makes no difference……when it is gone it will be gone and it will matter not how we got there……
