Atrazine is effective but it messes with hormones, which is safe to neither humans ór frogs alike IMO. Plus, it's pretty persistant in water and soil. It's been recently banned completely in Belgium as far as I know. France banned it too 2 years ago. It's under consideration for a European ban last time I heard. Quote:

A few year's ago there was a glowing meteor in the sky over Stockholm. It was just the size of a tennisball or football but was very bright, though I only saw it on tv (I still curse myself for not giving the sky more attention when I was out that day). The rock burnt up after an hour or so. I guess it entered our atmosphere with quite a skew angle, otherwise I think it wouldn't have stayed in the sky for so long. I've read that meteors the size of a grain have considerable chances to survive the entry into the atmosphere and reach the earth, if they have the right angle.

I suppose the determining factor is size. I'm pretty sure that the rocks, floating above our heads, that are large enough to give us a rerun from the dinosaurs can be detected at some distance before they come knocking at our atmosphere. I agree with you that smaller rocks will probably not be detected until they're burning up in the sky.

Great idea for a thread Lal!
I believe it's a general consensus among conservationists that the 6th mass exctinction has already begun - because of human exploitation of ecosystems. I'm not going to worry about an asteroid hitting the Earth. It's improbable that a bolloid (a enormous asteroid which would be capable of changing the climate of Earth) would hit the Earth, and we couldn't do anything about it anyway. No, we couldn't blow it up, sit down Bruce Willis. ![]()

Wow. Seems like just yesterday you guys were climbing down from the trees.... Though actually, I'm of the considered opinion that humans are more like cockroaches... They adapt pretty darned fast. They'll probably find a way to survive long enough to outbreed their resource base again. I keep thinking that you guys are missing a predator or two...

Yeah, I was reading about that today in the paper. Pretty frickin' cool. Speaking of weird things happening in this region, they've found some crazy fish that breeds by having these tiny little males attaching themselves to giant momma fishies, and gradually becoming permanent fixtures on the exterior of the female. There was this one female who had evidence of six separate male attachments.... Hussy!

We've got the snakehead in the Potomac now. It devours every other species it comes in contact with. So much for saving the rockfish.
![]() Human's *are* like cockroaches. Enough will adapt to the next global catastrophe whether it be asteroid, megavolcano, eco-destruction, etc. They eat anything, adapt to any climate, drink fetted water and kill anything that moves.

Yeah, conditions would need to change very drastically to kill off ALL the humans.
Of course only a little bit would do lots of damage to agriculture, making mass starvation a distinct possibility. Soylent green anyone?
