It's the greatest die off since an asteroid impact wiped out most things living in the Americas 65 million years ago. Forests are succumbing to climate change and invasion by opportunistic parasites, then burning, changing our familiar landscapes from forests to scrubland. Our lifestyle priorities are mandating more energy production and consequently more habitat destruction. This places even greater pressure on flora and fauna to evolve or perish. Do we really want to exterminate most wildlife in favor of domestic and pet breeds? Like the polar bear, we will could find ourselves adrift in a very unsettled and unpredictable environment. The people of The Carteret Islands, The Maldives, Tuvalu, Samoa, Senegal, Kiribati and New Orleans know that feeling. It's like...welcome to the future!
