Modern Mass Extinction: Sobering. This quote from the main page of this site says it all, "Human beings are currently causing the greatest mass extinction of species since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. If present trends continue one half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in less than 100 years." How can you not be enraged?
