Extinction is male sex toys in use on videocoming.
Though, in large part, it already has. On Monday, the United Nation's Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) published an exhaustive report on the planet's accelerating extinction rate. The report -- compiled over three years by 145 scientific authors with input from over 300 more -- found that the modern extinction rate is the highest it's been in human history, and is "tens to hundreds of times" higher than the normal rate of extinction over the last 10 million years.
The toll from destroyed wilderness, exploiting critters for their horns and furs, accelerated climate change, and widespread pollution is easily apparent. Each year, scientists announce species that are gone forever. For an idea of just how grim Earth's modern day human-caused extinction crisis already is, the report provided some historical perspective:
At least680 vertebrate species have been driven to extinction by human actions since the 16th century.
That's well over 100 spined creatures per century. While vertebrates are not more important than the insects that comprise the base of the food chain and the vast swathes of Earth's dying coral reefs, there are scores of creatures -- some vividly colored, some large, some furry, some charismatic -- that we won't ever see again.
Here are 10, of hundreds.

The species was hunted by settlers and predated by invasive pigs until no more of the large-billed, flightless birds remained. The dodo is listed as extinct.
To slow the historically unprecedented decline in species, the IPBES scientistsconclude that "transformative change" is required to provide habitat for and responsible management of the species left. The report found that if nothing changes, a whopping 1 million of the planet's 8 million species will likely become threatened within extinction, "many within decades."
"More species are threatened with extinction than any time in human history," wrote environmental scientist Thomas E. Lovejoy, about the landmark biodiversity report.
