Khalaf Posted January 20, 2008 More than a decade ago, many scientists claimed that humans were demonstrating a capacity to force a major global catastrophe that would lead to a traumatic shift in climate, an intolerable level of destruction of natural habitats, and an extinction event that could eliminate 30 to 50 percent of all living species by the middle of the 21st century.

We find ourselves uncomfortably privileged to be witnessing a mass extinction event as it's taking place, in real time.
