Hey, look how interesting at the related link...

Concerning Global Warming alone we read that: 

"International scientists from eight countries have warned that, based
even on the most conservative estimates, rising temperatures will
trigger a global mass extinction of unprecedented proportions. They
said global warming will set in train a far bigger threat to
terrestrial species than previously realised, at least on a par with
the already well-documented destruction of natural habitats around the
world. It is the first time such a powerful assessment has been made
and its conclusions will shock even those environmentalists accustomed
to "worst-case" scenarios."

"the corporate media's long-term, stubborn refusal to address the real
issues behind global warming - the corporations fighting with
unrelenting ferocity to destroy not just the Kyoto protocol but the
environment movement itself - represents the ultimate betrayal of us,
our future, and our planet."

The Sixth Great Extinction can be curbed - if we act now.

"We are predicting the extinction of about two-thirds of all bird,
mammal, butterfly and plant species by the end of the next century,
based on current trends." --Peter H. Raven (1999), former President of
AAAS, the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
