From 2 degrees Fahrenheit? I think not. But gimme my grant money and I’ll look further into it.
Over 90% - over, WAY over – 90% of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone! Pwwt! They’re extinct! We didn’t kill them all, they just disappeared. That’s what nature does. They disappear these days at the rate of 25 a day and I mean regardless of our behaviour. Irrespective of how we act on this planet, 25 species that were here today will be gone tomorrow.
Let them go gracefully. Leave nature alone. Haven’t we done enough?
We’re so self-important.
So self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these people kidding me? Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven’t learned how to care for one another, we’re gonna save the planet?

Just another NGO doing some fundraising. I guess donations are down recently.
If you go and consider meteor impacts, and massive tsunamis action...the Earth has continually lost the bulk of it’s animal species on a regular basis...yet seems to rebound.
The only explanation can be some alien ‘friends’ reseed the Earth. Not trying to be a comic or on the ‘far-side’, but some things cannot be rationally explained.
As long as cows, pigs and chickens survive I’m okay with it.
Just one more subject I chided my wildlife biologist co worker at the blm over.
He’d throw numbers around about endangered and I’d ask him
” when DID you count ALL of them ? “
Spit.
Lazy lying shysters virtue signaling with their phoney love of animals and muver erf.
Voila, here is your daily dose of climate change fear porn. This particular “claim” has been around for quite a while.
The best way yo save species is to exterminate NatureServ.
NatureServe is a detriment to society and should be eradicated at the earliest possible moment
Another good one to shame them with
” I thought you didn’t believe in God and creation but believed in evolutions survival of the fittest ? Then why are you fighting it ? Let them go extinct so the world can continue to evolve ! “
There is no doubt we are effecting the biosphere. Yet I don’t see how it’s all on climate change.
There is an overall decrease in populations of insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles etc but we’ve only seen say a 1.5f degree difference in heat. Which means the same as moving from N to S about 150 miles. Our family property (parents still live there) is about 120 miles from where I live so it’s close to that 1.5f difference as they are due south. I know for a fact the plant and animal species are nearly identical to here and 1.5f probably is easily within the normal temperature fluctuations of year to year.
So if the critters and plants can live happily south of me 150 miles where it’s 1.5f * warmer why can’t they live here if climate has made it 1.5f warmer???
I think it’s more likely chemical pollution of some sort: neonicotines and other pesticides , degrading plastics giving off various hydrocarbons, herbicides …who knows.
Democrats are a different species so there’s that.. plus all the alphabet nonsense we should be fine.
Can we vote for which we want gone. I am voting for Stinkbugs and Japanese Beetles.
I want a Grant so I can study how great the world would be if we eliminated all these doomsayers. Should be profitable as easy to prove.
Lose 40% of our species?
This very much depends on the meaning of “our.”
As long as cows, pigs and chickens survive I’m okay with it.Can we add a tick-extinction event to your conditions?
Well, until scientists actually get together and agree on a definition for the word “species”, no, we are not going to lose a single “species”, since the concept is essentially meaningless.
Because ....
1. There's lies, there's damned lies, and there's statistics, and ...
2. On a sufficiently long timeline, everyone and everything's chances of survival falls to zero (whole species included).
There will come a day when we will go extinct too.
