You evil humans are destroying everything and killing us all! Turn out the lights. The party's over by 2050. It's true because the World Wildlife Fund says so. You see, humans are bad and nature is good.
BEIJING (Reuters) - Humans are stripping nature at an unprecedented rate and will need two planets' worth of natural resources every year by 2050 on current trends, the WWF conservation group said on Tuesday.
Populations of many species, from fish to mammals, had fallen by about a third from 1970 to 2003 largely because of human threats such as pollution, clearing of forests and overfishing, the group also said in a two-yearly report.
Contrast this with the eco-friendly and responsible way that animals behave:
Families strolling through a London park were left shocked when a pelican picked up and swallowed an unsuspecting pigeon.
The Eastern White pelican struggled with the desperately frantic pigeon in its beak for more than 20 minutes before swallowing it whole.
The moment was caught on camera by photographer Cathal McNaughton, who was taking pictures of the wildlife in St James's Park. The pigeon was still alive when it reached the pelican's stomach, he said.
Why can't you evolutionary-advantaged homosapiens act more like your less evolved brothers?
Evil Humans!
