American biologist, author of popular books and professor Stanford University, Paul Erlich said last week, that our planet is entering the sixth period of mass extinction. The scientist’s theory is confirmed by very real figures: in 21st century extinction of animals reached a record level and now exceeds normal, acceptable, more than a hundred times.
Paul Ehrlich supports in his disappointing predictions and Stanislav Drobyshevsky – an anthropologist from Russia, author of many scientific articles and study guides for university students. Drobyshevsky gives humanity no more than two hundred years of life on our planet, and after, in his opinion, we will repeat the fate of the dinosaurs – we will die out, forever disappearing from the face of the earth.
Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin is not so categorical: he is only I am convinced that by no means a bright future awaits only Western European countries. According to him, residents of such states, like Great Britain, Italy, France, Germany, since the Middle Ages “eat up” the moral capital pledged by their ancestors. When the system values of Western Europe will cease to exist, its population will be doomed to death.

But do not be afraid of the predictions of pundits, because how many times they already predicted the death of our planet, but Armageddon never has come. It’s worth remembering, and who is Paul Ehrlich himself, loudly declared that humanity is again on the verge of death. In 1968 His book entitled Demographic Bomb was published. If everything written in it were true, we are all led by Ehrlich would have been dead for a long time, and some of us don’t even were born. But, apparently, the scientist was not only that his predictions turned out to be false, and in the 90s he published a new book, which, not at all embarrassed, called the “Population Explosion”, as if I didn’t think about giving up my absurd ideas. In her black it was written to white that humanity would not live to the two thousandth years, because our planet will be overpopulated.
And who would have thought that in 25 years, Erlich would return to his extravagant ideas about the near end of the world. True now if the forecasts of an elderly scientist do not materialize, even ask not who will already have it – and where is your promised Apocalypse?
The end of the world Russia
