'Like the comet striking the dinosaurs – in slower motion, but just as deadly –
human activity is hacking off entire branches from the tree of life, a new
study confirms.
"It is changing the trajectory of evolution globally and destroying the
conditions that make human life possible," ecologists warn in their new paper.
"It is an irreversible threat to the persistence of civilization and the
livability of future environments for
Homo sapiens."
Over the past few months the sixth mass extinction has become devastatingly
visible.'
