Will there be mass-extinctions in 2012?

Answer 1

you wont have to wait that long

because of the depletion of indiginous forrests ,in central and South America ,in Asia,and in Africa in recent times.And Borneo and indonesia

thousands of species both flora and fauna have gone in to extinction in the last and this century.
Rare medicinal plants lost forever.

we are now witness to to first mass extinction since the days of the dinosaurs

in the waters,both the seas and the rivers
fish are being harvested faster than they can reproduce

In the local river near me 6 mayor species have disappeared in the last 50 years

the world demand for food (farmers have to feed some 70 million more people every year)and the loss of agricultural lands.due to desertification ,
(because of bad agricultural practises and the over pumping of aquifyers and land loss because of rising seas ,)
have forced farmers to slash and burn and plant erodable and unstable lands and destroy vast tracts of Nature in the process wiping out the animal populations.

Madagasgar once a paradisical island ,a haven of exotic animals,is now depleted of forrests surrounded by waters devoid of fish because they are full of the topsoils that have been washed of the denuded mountains

and more and more space is needed for the expanding populations. (,world pópulation has doubled in number in the last 50 years ,which is more people than since the first homosapian)

Answer 2

The extinction rate on the earth is about 10 000 times what it should be in the normal case... which means:
- there is a usual extinction rate
- we´re much above it
- no need to wait 2012 for it
- several causes for this

As the temperature rises we might also experience a massive extinction of republicans, especially the ones in the south due to coming heat waves.
