The Ongoing Wildlife Holocaust

We are in immense amounts of trouble:

The world populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles fell overall by 52 per cent between 1970 and 2010, far faster than previously thought, the World Wildlife Fund said on Tuesday.

If we survive the next two hundred years, this is another thing our descendents will curse us for, because the genome of other species will be more valuable than gold, oil or any other substance you can think of: design material for the real biotech revolution which is just beginning.

The real risk is not in the higher animals, though, it is in phytoplankton in the sea (also crashing precipitously) and in trees, which are responsible for much of our oxygen cycle. If we screw those up, well, we’re dead. And evidence is strong that we are screwing them up.

The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died.

It is not God who will destroy us, of course, but ourselves. And we will do it because our ideology tells us to do so. Preparatory to series of articles on technology, please take the time to read this collation of articles on ideology, character, why we are destroying ourselves, and how it can change.
