Something to Think About

Right now, we are living in the sixth mass extinction of species in the history of the planet Earth. Currently more species are going extinct than that of the K/T episode (asteroid that hit the earth and killed the dinos). The source of this mass extinction? Us, the human race. But hey, the natural order of the universe is for all species to become extinct at some period in time. Unfortunately, it's our turn. Even though we are a very complex species, it seems our time on Earth is very short in relation to coral, for example.
