Enviroweenies Want To Control Land And Sea Through ‘Biodiversity’
Written By : William Teach

As climate alarmism fades, meaning the UN and other world and government bodies are losing the means to attempt to control people and property, biodiversity has risen in its place. Here’s the latest

A growing number of creatures could disappear from the earth, with one-fifth of all vertebrates and as many as a third of all sharks and rays now facing the threat of extinction, according to a new survey assessing nearly 26,000 species across the globe.

Do you know how many species there are on Earth? No? Don’t feel bad, because scientists don’t know, either. They guesstimate about 1.7 million. But, that doesn’t really matter in the narrative, because it isn’t about species, it’s about control

In addition, forces such as habitat destruction, over-exploitation and invasive competitors move 52 species a category closer to extinction each year, according to the research, published online Tuesday by the journal Science. At the same time, the findings demonstrate that these losses would be at least 20 percent higher without conservation efforts now underway.

It all sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Much like what happened with anthropogenic global warming in the early years. I mean, most of us can agree that loss of species through acts of Mankind are bad, right? I do. But…….

“We’ve transformed a third of the habitable land on earth for food production,” said Dulvy, who co-chairs the IUCN’s shark specialist group. “You can’t just remove that habitat without consequences for biodiversity.”

Kinda sounds like the climate alarmist argument about reducing Mankind, doesn’t it?

Environmental groups are pushing for a goal of protecting 25 percent of all land on earth and 15 percent of the sea by 2020. At the moment, roughly 14 percent of terrestrial areas and less than 1 percent of the ocean enjoy some degree of environmental safeguards.

And there you have it. First they’ll want 25%/14%, then more. And who is in control? Who makes the rules?

This is the “next big eco-scare” from the United Nations and their unhinged peeps, shifting from global control through climate change.

James Delingpole has more on this emerging scarefest.

    ” loss of species through acts of Mankind ”
    What about the ones caused by Nature ?

    They better get busy – the vast majority of species which have ever lived are already extinct, known only by the fossils we’ve been fortunate enough to find.

      A-men. It is almost too late.

      • StanW

        It’s been “almost too late” for decades, martha. Do you think you can continue to lie and still be taken at your word?

      • Anonymous

        You do realize the vast majority of those went extinct well before we came on to the scene right?

        And that we alone have the capability of one day being able to bring back extinct animals?

        Prior to man: animal goes extinct that’s it.
        After man: animal goes extinct, maybe it’ll get a second chance. Granted not a great shot, but better than 0.

    Artificial biodiversity loss (i.e. Mankind) causes a ripple effect due to the speed at which it occurs. Species are not able to adapt to needed roles in the ecology, and the entire system collapses. This has become readily apparent recently with oceanic fish populations, and reduction in available fish.

    Of course, you can take the standard right wing approach, and claim there’s no proof, and nothing will happen, since by the time it does, you won’t be around to see it.

    • StanW

      You mean as opposed to the Liberal ideal of saying “We need to do something NOW or we are all doomed, we only have 10 years left before it is too late.” Of course, you and your ilk said that over 15 years ago, so your credibility is SHOT!

        Ask the wine industry what they think of global warming.

        • http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

          I’d rather ask the scientists, the one using facts not manipulated data.

        • StanW

          Why, is the wine industry filled with climetologists, Danny? Or are they just having a tough time and are blaming it on Man-Made Global Warming to garner sympathy and bail-out money?

          • Rickvid in Seattle

            I think Danny might be pointing out that as the climate warms back to temps similar to the era before the Little Ice Age, viticultural grapes can grow farther north, just like they did when England had a burgeoning wine industry. For them, the cyclical warming trend of the last 150-ish years is good! Yum!

          Ask the dental industry what they think about global warming.

          Seriously, why would wine producers be experts in this field?

        • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

          They think its bitchen, but they’re not real fond of governments who panic based on lies and bad science, destroying their industry.

      • Martha

        I’ll see your ilk and raise you an elk – if we can find any.

        • StanW

          NinerDog has several elk in his freezer. I’ll get you some, if you’d like!

          • Martha

            Um-um. It tastes great. Even as burgers. Enjoy while you can.

    • Martha

      So true.

    • http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

      Well this then follows the Darwinian Theory of Evolution – Survival of the fittest, the strong survive the weak are replaced. So I guess there’s nothing to be concerned about.

      • Martha

        You guess wrong – color me surprised.

        • http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

          Prove it!

          • Martha

            Aww – for once – why don’t you prove one of your statements. [LOL - what am I saying {giggle}]

          • http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

            I did! The Earth is covered with the fossils of failed and extinct species, but there is still life the strong survived, the weak perished.

            Now you prove that man must change or destroy the Earth by changing the levels of biodiversity.

          • Martha

            You *proved* it. {snicker} (shakes head in mirth)

          • http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

            So you have NO proof?

        • StanW

          Right, because you only use evolution in an argument when you are trying to slam the Right or disprove God. When evolution doesn;t fit your narrative-du-jour, then you pretent it doesn’t exist.

    • Anonymous

      Exactly how is mankind causing “artificial” biodiversity loss? Mankind is just as much a part of the environment as any other living creature. Anything we do to change the environment is natural by definition.

    • http://www.thepiratescove.us/ William_Teach

      I think you misunderstand, Danny. I know that I want to stop preserve, where possible, the biodiversity of the Earth. Over-fishing, killing off sharks, hunting whales and dolphins, etc. I bet most of the other, if not all, conservatives believe the same thing.

      However, this push for ‘biodiversity’ by the UN and the other enviroweenies is not about protection, it is about control, as well as finding yet another revenue stream to suck money from people and governments, in order to pay for their salaries, add campaigns, and, yes, to use for more fundraising. Why do these people always propose measures that increase control and suck money, rather than simply fixing the problem? Because they have to gin up a problem.

  • Good Ol Boy

    I don’t think that there’s any need for the eco-loons to panic. I fully expect militant Islam to solve the problem by wiping out a significant portion of the world’s human population.

    • Martha

      We can but hope.

      • Good Ol Boy

        By Jove, I believe I may’ve stumbled upon the source of the Left’s fawning adoration of the cowardly, murderous Islamic scumbags… I’ll be dern

          It kind of makes sense now. It was weird before, promoting ideas that run in exact opposition to what they pretend to believe.

      • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

        Yes we know that you on the eco left want most of the planet’s human population to die. Not you, of course. Rainbow Six wasn’t a thrilling piece of suspenseful fiction to you, its a primer.

      • Rickvid in Seattle

        Lead us in suicide, M?

    25% and 14%. Double the amount of the Earth under environmental control, say I. That gives homo sapiens sapiens a fighting chance.

    • http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

      Well you’re not in charge, and never will be, thank God.

      And man doesn’t need your help, man is adaptable and can overcome always has, always will.

      • Martha

        Ya can’t adapt to a dead planet.

        • http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

          Prove the planet is dying.

        • StanW

          So now the whole planet is dead?

          Martha, get help!

        • Anonymous

          Indeed, the world is dead. It died in the early 70s when we refused to change our wicked ways. No wait, that was revised to the 80s, 90s, early 2000s, 2010s, hm .. .. 2020 that’s definitely when the world is going to die.

      And how will you persuade people to take up less space, eat less, consume fewer resources etc etc? In other words: how do you intend to make about half the worlds population disappear?

      I think I know how. Just remember to use solar powered trains to transport them.

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_YWXM6Q6QGELGTT334IQMWB774Q David

        They don’t plan to use persuasion. They will force us to take up less space, etc for the greater good of Gaea.

          The love for Stalin, Mao, Che and all the others on the left is well founded.

          Those folks were pioneering environmentalists. Just think how many more people there would be now if it weren’t for them.

          Likewise Borlaug, Edward Jenner, and Flemming are monsters in their eyes.

    • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

      You just said you want most of the earth’s population of homo sapiens to die out. Your real agenda has nothing to do with humanity’s survival.

  • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

    Evolution is all about survival of the fittest and the process by which the strong survive and the weaker are replaced.

    A principle nearly every leftist clings too heartily and eco-radicals love dearly… but abandon when it comes to presently existing species.

    Sounds like natural selection at work to me. Species that can’t adapt to changes in their environment die out.

  • Proud Infidel

    Eeeeyeah, what about the numbers of new species discovered in the past decade, as well as many species previously listed as threatened or endangered are now neither. It’s just more lefties wanting more control over peoples’ lives that they neither need or deserve.
