Jacques Cousteau - a warning from the past

_{A warning from Jacques Cousteau in 1997}

_{From Robert Leisure, via Facebook}

 _{After researching many global trends over more than five decades, Jacques Cousteau, world famous marine explorer, inventor and conservationist, made the following statement at the age of 87, shortly before his death in 1997,... nine years after Dr. James Hansen presented his alarming climate change warnings to the U.S. Senate.}

_{"It is already too late. We’ve passed the threshold. The beginning of the end has started. Humankind may, or may not be, part of the plan nature has for the Earth in the future. Life will be reborn, but first the world as we know it now will die."}

_{Apparently, he concluded we were past the tipping point regarding the anthropogenic 6th great mass extinction twenty one years ago. Think about that for a bit.}

_{Have a great day.}
