Earth faces a mass extinction by 2100 that could wipe out more than a quarter of world biodiversity, a new study warns.

Australian and European scientists have developed a 'virtual Earth' to better plot global extinctions caused by climate change.

I think any mass extinction will be the result of leftists becoming so incompetent they will forget how to procreate. :xedfingers:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

GIGO applies no matter how much computing power is being used to make and run the model.

Anything is possible. The Earth has seen many mass extinctions.

But the tactic here is to make something sound so dire but to put it off in the future so that people today don’t see it and they can use that as an excuse to implement draconian policies

After all, it’s all for the children

Holy Smokes! I hadn't realized we transitioned from SMOD mass extinction to 'land use, climate change and 'over-exploitation of resources' mass extinction time already! I sure am glad someone is keeping track in fear mongering central.
