Notice, this does *not* mean that there is no problem with extinction. We have likely pushed up the species extinction rate 100-1000x. But this doesn't translate into 12.5% of species extinct in a couple of decades — rather about 0.7% in 5 decadespic.twitter.com/NsLvQ3RSKO
Tackling extinction is worthwhile, but has to compete with the many other challenges, we face Panic on some issues means neglecting others, often more important issues Here the UN survey of global priorities: education & health before forests http://data.myworld2015.org/ pic.twitter.com/ASRnDqF2N5
And reading back, it is interesting to see the same mechanisms working again: 17 environmental organizations said the Global 2000 report "painted perhaps too bright a picture." Because it is always worse than you think (from Time Magazine, 8/4/1980pic.twitter.com/sYbzHZQcRe
The report was wrong about species loss. We didn't lose 2 million species. We have till 2010 lost 872 documented species (this is certainly an underestimate, but not anywhere close to even 1% of the Global 2000 claim) https://www.iucnredlist.org/search pic.twitter.com/xRGJTcDv2Z
The report was wrong about species loss. It was also wrong on a lot of other points, like an impending oil crisis in the 1990spic.twitter.com/zoG9isKHyJ
And Global 2000 expected food prices to double by 2000 They instead declined by 67%...pic.twitter.com/gxLMxiHVvX
Disgusting you guys... you really want to debate about the actual number of species that we can overlook going extinct? The number should as close to zero as possible, and yes l, we’ve known this has been a problem for 40 years, so what!
Johnny, it’s easy for you to be desensitized to this given that you are living in one of the most natural and beautiful places on earth
