Disagree. Most species currently dying or having brought to exticntion during the past 400 years - are dying or have died because of us. Now we try to save some individual animals here and there in local, well-meant initiatives, but this does not make up for the simple fact that although species have died in huge quantities in the past of Earth (during the cosmis Blitz, during the two major iceages, after that assumed damn meteor struck earth and killed all dinosaurs), today a new death race of species is underway which is exclusively caused by man's impact on global conditons. The speed and pace of global extinction of species is many times, multiple times faster than it was ever before during the current geological age of Earth. No, August, we do not help species not to disappear - we make them disappear. we do not do a lot to help the planet - we do a lot to destroy it. Scientists estimate the current man-made speed of extinction of species to be 100 - 1000 times faster than the usual background process of natural/evolutional selection.

For the record, only 2 million zoological and botanical species are known today. It is expected that 5 - 30 million species currently exist on the planet.

To make such an arogant statement shows a total lack of intelligence really.We walk a tightrope that is frayed already...it needs no additional help by humans to make it snap.

I think the only animal that could die off and not have a negative impact on the world would be us.

If everyone who felt this way put a bullet in thier brain to help out then "Global Warming" would have no effect...

Then maybe the rest of us could walk the rope a little longer...

Sure is funny how people who believe what your preaching dont act on the solution.

BEESIDES ... I already told you what the bees are up to... but y'all act like I'm nuts or sumthin...

Just like the global warming debate.

My, my! Must be coincidental.

What the heck is a synthetic organic insecticide?

Sounds like a manufactured version of an insecticide found in nature.

EDIT: Nice sig quote.

I think this issue, the poisoning of all America's rivers out west with rocket fuel, and respiratory problems caused by smog are a lot more serious than global warming.

We had the answer to global warming and these other problems 30 years ago. It a very sopisticated concept called "car pooling".

Too late! :p

I'm not a big fan of Dennis Prager but CBC's Avi Lewis handed it to him on a silver platter this time:





But we're off-topic, even though those are stinging retorts. :p

I thought we had settled this...Tchocky showed us some guys burning a bunch of bees, that is why they're disappearing, people are doing that all over the place.

This should end the debate. Shut up now. If you disagree it's because you're on Ranger Smith's payroll, and no, I'm not on Yogi Bear's payroll.

I've mentioned this before and I tend to agree:

Next up to bat is .
