On New Years' Day, several Stanford scientists joined CBS' Scott Pelley on '60 Minutes' to discuss the mass extinction crisis. No one had any good news.
Tony Barnosky, a Stanford biologist whose work involves using fossil records to map changes in ecosystems over time, toldthat his work suggests that extinction rates today are moving at roughly 100 times the rate typically seen in Earth's four-billion-year known history of supporting life.experiencing the worst mass extinction episode since the dinosaurs.
"I and the vast majority of my colleagues think we've had it," Barnosky's Stanford colleague Paul Ehrlich, who also appeared on the show, told Pelley, "that the next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we're used to." "I would say it is too much to say that we're killing the planet, because the planet's gonna be fine," said Barnosky. "What we're doing is we're killing our way of life."
According to Ehrlich, the problem is "too many people, too much consumption and growth mania" — a reality that few would likely argue is showing any meaningful sign of slowing down.
