Human extinction within 100 years warns scientist
New Zealand newspaper, John Henzell, Nov. 17, 2004
A top New Zealand researcher is using a prestigious award ceremony in
Christchurch to warn that humans face extinction by the end of the century.
"After 40 years, I'm part of a huge community of scientists who have become alarmed with our discovery, that we know from our knowledge of the ancient past, that if we continue our present growth path, we are facing extinction," Barrett said. "Not in millions of years, or even millennia, but by the end of this century."
…"We need an international commitment to an effective solution, if we are to survive the worst consequences of this grandest of all human experiments."
