SAVE OUR PLANET... Eminent scientist places humankind on brink of mass extinction. During a rare interview, venerated Professor Emeritus Dr. Frank Fenner of Australian National University stated that population growth and climate change are pushing many animal species, including humankind, to a likely vanishing point within 100 years. Dr. Fenner joins other scientists who have described the Earth as ushering in the "Anthropocene" time period, a term that refers to an era of human-driven climate change. Saying that humans since the Industrial Age have had more of an effect than any previous ice age or even comet impact, Dr. Fenner stated that global warming would be the primary cause for humanity's demise. He added that while mitigation efforts could slow the course to some degree, its likelihood of being halted has been countered by people's unrestrained consumption habits along with delays in meaningful action thus far. Dr. Fenner's grave view is shared by other acclaimed scientists, including Britain's Dr. James Lovelock, who fears that it is too late for human survival. However, others, including Australian expert human ecologist Dr. Stephen Boyden, are still cautiously optimistic. As stated by Dr. Boyden, "Some of us still harbor the hope that there will come about an awareness of the situation and, as a result, the revolutionary changes necessary to achieve ecological sustainability."

Our thanks for your candid views, Drs. Fenner, Lovelock and Boyden. We sincerely pray for the quick awakening and sustainable actions that are necessary to preserve lives on our planet.

Deeply concerned for humanity, Supreme Master Ching Hai has often spoken of the actions needed to remedy the perilous state of our globe, as during a December 2008 videoconference in California, USA.

California, USA -- December 12, 2008

Supreme Master Ching Hai: The cost of not doing anything is immense. I do not want to elaborate on this. I do not want to imagine it. Please do it! We don't have much time! If the planet goes, we will all go. So, Organic Vegan Diet is the Answer.

  • type in "human extinction" click on the first video, now look at the comments, congratulations you have found a subspecies of humans, called nihilist fags, they are known for their involvement in the green party.

  • The planet is going well and will continue going well for billions of years until the Sun becomes a red giant. See? The world will be destroyed anyway. And that is independent of insignificant human existence. , and frankly I do not care about another mass extinction. At least the Permian-Triassic extinction event was more dramatic than the little mass extinction that we are currently experiencing.

  • its too late with this goverment to save the world what we can do is educate our childeren differently and tell them to be more cautious for their own future

  • if "global warming"is happening it has nothing to do with human's 'conspicuous consumption' ( of course meaning AMERICANS). it's a natural warming and cooling effect the earth has gone thru over millions of millenia. this crap is pushed by socialists and their blind worshippers who want to regulate and tax freedom to death. sick of the high cost of everything? thank a liberal!

  • If we go extinct, I'll blame the Christians.

  • global warming is the primary con for goverments to make us pay money

  • @FaintAura you dont undersand my friend we r the earth dun dun duuuuuuuuuuunnn

  • Humans are a fucking cancer to Earth, I hope something like this happens sooner than later.

  • lol ha human extintion ftw.

  • we could become cannibals and remove many unnecessary humans of no worth, this would eliminate the burden on the world. Eliminate the illegality of murder and let mans animal nature to rid the weak, and weak off the planet. This would make an equal line to all, rich or poor to rid the planet of many. no one is going vegan. Let meth, cocaine, marijuana be free so many will kill themselves off faster. or have an open season free for all around th globe kill offs start w/leaders of countries
