by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Death is all around us, but most of us are so focused on our own little worlds that we can’t even see it.  There have been other mass extinctions throughout history, but the one that is happening right now is much different from all those that have come before.  That is because it is happening very gradually.  Over the past 50 years, billions of creatures have been wiped off the face of our planet, but it didn’t happen all at once.  It has been a slow, steady process, and the mainstream media hardly ever talks about it.  So most people don’t pay any attention to this crisis, even though it truly is an existential threat to our existence.
