Extinction: Every 20 Minutes We Lose an Animal Species
Jeff Corwin -- Los Angeles Times

There is a holocaust happening. Right now. And it's not confined to one nation or even one region. It is a global crisis. Species are going extinct en masse. Every 20 minutes we lose an animal species. If this rate continues, by century's end, 50% of all living species will be gone. It is a phenomenon known as the sixth extinction. The fifth extinction took place 65 million years ago when a meteor smashed into the Earth, killing off the dinosaurs and many other species and opening the door for the rise of mammals. Currently, the sixth extinction is on track to dwarf the fifth.

Think there's a book & documenatry called 'The Sixth Extinction' coming out soon, plenty of embedded links above, provides a fair introduction.

Man will cause the biggest mass extinction ever, but a superior species will evolve over the next few million years and it won't be us. :)

Sort of, but now he's a cyborg. They had a tough time getting the robotic parts to join with the flesh but a Metal Guru solved the problem
