The backdrop for our advanced years, I fear. Loss, loss and more loss. Being alive in my generation is going to be one protracted goodbye. Sucks. These systems take so long to develop only to be destroyed so quickly. Morality aside, an appreciation for complexity and efficiency should give us rational people cause enough to mourn the passing of species by possibly avoidable causes. I guess this is what booze, weed and swimming with bow-legged women is for. Cheers from the deck of the Titanic.

Fuck Humanity.Like Lemmings, we march forever onward to our extinction, never changing our course. The earth will be a much better place without most of us. 12-21-2012 Hoping for the end. LOL

I say fuck the amphibians.

They're losers.

I say Fuck Berekely. They're losers.

15 years ago they said the Earth was getting ready to freeze over soon, now it's going to boil over (which is it Berkeley?)

Yeah!

First, the species of amphibians that existed 250 million years ago no longer exist today anyway.

Second, the article does say that humans are probably responsible for diminished numbers of amphibians, but it also says the nail in the coffin is suspected to simply be natural disease (fungus).

Third, if all of humanity dies, it won't be a 'better' place because nothing alive besides humans can appreciate 'better' abstractly. Perhaps there will be more room for other species of animals, but I don't see how having more animals in general is somehow a great ideal.
Anyway, the reason we care at all about something like amphibians dying is because if our ecosystem collapses we may die as well.

Frogs don't care.

90% of all species that ever lived are now extinct. More will arise, more will die, that's the way it goes. There is nothing we are going to do about it. Just put your head betwen your legs and kiss your Nocal goodbye.

42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
