Andrew,

Can you please give me a scientific explanation of how you would have stopped any one of these five using technology that is currently available to us.

Methinks you have a God complex.

What I meant was that we, as a species, don't fare well in a competitive environment where hair, teeth and claws are obligatory. We use tools to manipulate our environment. When the climate changes, unless we can find ways to exist, we are facing extinction. Some plant species, bacteria and cockroaches may be competitive.

There are however some suggestions that we as a species can alter our biosphere. There is a great deal of theory on terraforming that may have relevance. The cost, however, is our current way of life.
