Welcome to the 

Species Threats page

So far I can think of only two species threats. Other suggestions are welcome. Andrew Atkinson suggested climate change but I'm not convinced that there's anything on the horizon there that the human race wouldn't adapt to, at least some of us. But there are two dangers that seem to be serious threats to the survival of the species and, avoiding that, major threats to any imaginable lesser degree. Carl Sagan was hip to this and he will be remembered here later. For now, here are the big two as seen by cuke.com on 5/05/04. - DC.

Species Threat Number 1: 

Accidental or Otherwise Caused Nuclear War Between the US and Russia

Species Threat Number 2: 

Strike from an asteroid or comet

Species Threat Number 3: 

Global Warming - various prior comments and links in cuke.com's Current Events section.
