Quote: Scientists have been warning for decades that human actions are pushing life on our shared planet toward mass extinction. Such extinction events have occurred five times in the past, but a bold new paper finds that this time would be fundamentally different. Fortunately, thereҀ™s still time to stop it. Endquote

    Artificial intelligence, shrinking natural reserves, polluted air - and we are calling it 'progress'.

    We know it, and still we don't!

    Humans act late! And it is usually too late to recover!

    I sometimes wonder if we had to keep our 'technological' needs to bare minimum, what would we keep? Also, can we really afford to keep it at current level?

    I guess that would be technologies for communication (I'm not talking about 4G), power generation and medical diagnosis. Then, everyone has different priorities πŸ˜’

    Rhino Picture was really horrible πŸ˜” πŸ˜”
    Those people don't deserved to be called as Humans

    On a Side Note : I don't think there will be any mass extinction according to #-Link-Snipped-# (I believe in this website a lot)
