They call themselves "scientists"! LOL!

(CNN) — More than two thirds of the world's wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade if action isn't taken soon, a new report from the World Wildlife Fund revealed on Thursday.

Since 1970, there has already been a 58% overall decline in the numbers of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles worldwide, according to the WWF's latest bi-annual Living Planet Index.

If accurate, that means wildlife across the globe is vanishing at a rate of 2% a year.

"This is definitely human impact, we're in the sixth mass extinction. There's only been five before this and we're definitely in the sixth," WWF conservation scientist Martin Taylor told CNN.

    At a rate of 2% you never reach zero. No problem! Natural man made selection. I like it.

    We have more bears than ever.....even after last years joke of a season which lasted for about 11 hours in NW FL.

    Deer are everywhere, too. Even saw an alligator last month at my lease that had to be lost.

    Coyotes, quail, doves, foxes, coons, skunks, rabbits......they're all on my cameras. Armadillos are a little more scarce since the coyotes learned how to shell them out.

    Whilst I have my doubts about the article, this is like saying it's hot out today, must be global warming.

    The animal kingdom includes more than mammals and some animals thrive on human activity.

    Wasn't able to replay on the car radio but I think I heard (at her "rally" here in Lake Worth)
    Hillary say, "Because of man made global warming we are going
    to get many more hurricanes, tornadoes, etc."

    How is the Earth a better place with you living on it? Can you give us any ideas or bullet points that the Earth would write on your letter of reference?

    I have planted and managed the planting of more than one million various native plants for numerous restoration projects. I have personally been involved with (via time and money) the conservation of tens of thousands of acres of land, now open to the public. These actions have no bearing on the fact that I truly am in many instances, a complete ****.

    Your snooty arrogance is without par. I think the hot air you blow makes for a bigger "carbon footprint" than anyone. Congrats on that.

    Good thing people seem to like our bad music, as we play it for them all the time....Matt and Denise say you are even more insufferable in person. Hard to believe...but I can...

    Aww does Cyclist feel a little ****? I don't care if anyone hangs out with me or not, they really did say that about you though. And they're even with you politically for the most part!

    And we don't play covers. Just so you know.

    Come to a show sometime. You'll see....

    From what I hear, playing covers would be your bands saving grace...
