IS THE SIXTH MAN-MADE DESTRUCTION UPON US?

Scientists have determined that there may have been five mass extinctions in the history of our planet. They could have been created by natural causes and wiped out as much as 75 percent of life each time. According to a study recently published in the journal Nature, we may be in the midst of a sixth mass extinction. This one, according to the study, is man-made. Habitation loss, over-hunting species and climate change caused by fossil-fuel, green-house gases are the sources of this slow scourge. Except for the mass extinction caused by a comet colliding with earth, which killed quickly, the other four extinctions have occurred over hundreds of thousand years caused by global warming or cooling. This sixth extinction which began perhaps 200 years ago is happening rapidly.

Using a combination of deep ground radar, digital mapping, and underwater technology to survey an ancient site near Cadiz, Spain, an international team of archaeologists led by the University of Hartford (Connecticut), their results will be shown on a National Geographic special. The investigation began with the discovery of several “memorial cities,” presumably built in Atlantis’s image by its refugees after the continent’s likely destruction, perhaps by a tsunami.
