Human Extinction Within 100 Years Warns Scientist - GoFuckYourself.com

messiah1 · 11-16-2004, 04:20 PM

"A top New Zealand researcher is using a prestigious award ceremony in Christchurch to warn that humans face extinction by the end of the century.

Professor Peter Barrett will be presented with the Marsden Medal tonight for his 40-year contribution to Antarctic research, latterly focusing on climate change.

The director of Victoria University's Antarctic Research Centre expects to use his acceptance speech to warn climate change was a major threat to the planet.

"After 40 years, I'm part of a huge community of scientists who have become alarmed with our discovery, that we know from our knowledge of the ancient past, that if we continue our present growth path, we are facing extinction," Barrett said. "Not in millions of years, or even millennia, but by the end of this century." Barrett won the award ? designed to mark lifetime achievement in the sciences ? for his research into Antarctica, which began with helping prove New Zealand was once part of the Gondwanaland supercontinent."

Yes I am sure a climate change will kill off all of the humans on earth just like the climate change of the last ice age did 10,000 years ago.

Extinction? A moon base would solve the Earth climate problems and a Mars base would solve any extinction threat. Humans are less than 100 years from colonizing other planets. Just shows how smart of a "scientist" this guy is. Humans wont be extinct

Species die all the time. Homo Sapiens aren't different. Our day will come and we'll be a mere footnote in the history of this planet.

We won't colonize the moon or Mars in 100 years. Just to teraform Mars would take hundreds if not 1000's of years. we can't even get 3 peole to mars let alone MILLIONS. You think that's going to change much in 100 years? We've had a space program for 45 years and it's not much advanced now than it was 45 years ago. Helll we havent even back to to moon in 30 years.
