Clapham thinks the Capitanian is probably 30th or 40th in the hierarchy of extinctions, not sixth.

One thing is certainly clear, extinction events are common and regular even if they are not all global in scale. Life forms come and go and it will happen again.

Except for spotted owls, peebles jumping mice, and delta smelt.

We are in a spiral galaxy and we go round and round the black hole. We are bound to bump into something now and then.

That’s why when liberals worry about extinction it’s such a nonsense argument. That’s the history of the world and who decides which species living at what time period are OK to save?
