Extinction

  • Over 40% of all tropical forrests have been destroyed and another acre is lost every second.
  • Worldwide, thousands of pounds of plutonium are stored under conditions of inadequate security. (if this fell into the handsof terrorists, they could build a Hiroshema size bomb with as little as ten pounds.
  • 6-8 tons of carbon is added to the atmosphere by burningfoddile fuels and and destroying forrests. This could raise the temprature three -ten degrees (with Global Warming) by 2050.
  • Worldwidw, more than 11,000 plants and animals are facing a high risk of extinction. This includes mammals!

At th rate--How long before humans are extinct?
