S.O.S. – Save Our Species
The Reader’s Digest version of what I have to say is this: Our species will not survive unless we take action. Period – It’s a fact, Jack! . 65 million years ago, the Dinosaur species ceased to exist after 165 million years of a blissful life of eat or be eaten. One way or another, we face the same fate. Our clock is ticking. We however can change that.

TOP 10 REASONS WE CAN FAIL AS A SPECIES… IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER BECAUSE WE ONLY NEED ONE.
|
1. No matter what, our sun will live its life to the fullest and explode, go nova – there are many descriptions for the life cycle of a star. True, that is billions of year’s away … maybe.
2. Another star in a near by solar system could go wacko and take us with it.
3. Our Sun could just send the perfect solar flair our way at any time and has done so in the past. FYI – A solar flare could knock out ALL of our satellites. You know, the ones that direct your cell phone conversations, allow us to conduct bank transactions and even buy gas control the power grid, things like that.
4. We could always go the same way the Dino’s did, some errant asteroid.
5. Yellowstone is a SUPER volcano that can go off at any time. As a species we may not perish, but we couldn’t get off the planet for a very long time if ever. Not to mention, the earth is FULL of volcanic activity that can cause worst problems than the mini ice age less than 500 years ago.
6. The magnetic poles are changing and for that matter the poles of the earth are way overdue for changing places. Just imaging what changing up to down would be like?
7. Our population could kill us. At the time of Christ there were 200 million people on earth. By the 1800’s there were 900 million. By the 1900’s we were up to 1.6 billion. In the 1950 we reached over 2.4 billion. And by the year 2000 there were over 6 billion humans on this earth. Over population breeds disease and we are already seeing it.
8. And of course, we can just kill our selves. Nuclear bombs are not dead and in fact more crazy nations that hate us have them.
9. While Global warming is not new, this time we could be the cause of planet wide changes in the weather, which can wreck havoc on our comfortable way of life.
10, I’ll bet you’ve thought of something I forgot.
