The Sixth Extinction is Upon Us

A dire warning has been issued to humankind...
Following a 5 year study by the UN Environment Programme over 1500 international scientists agreed that major threats to the planet, including climate change and population has put humanity at risk.
UNEP's report, 'Global Environment: Environment for Development" describes changes in the planet’s global atmosphere, land, water and biodiversity.
The UNEP warns that humanity currently exists beyond its means; of inequalities in development and consumption.
This crisis includes not just climate change, extinction rates and hunger, but other problems driven by growing human numbers, the rising consumption of the rich and the desperation of the poor.
