Creating unwarranted anxiety so as to prepare people to accept stupid political agendas.

My guess is that addressing this problem will require massive new taxes and draconian government control of the entire world economy.

“But having many diverse species also proved no guarantee of future success for any one group of animals, given that mass extinctions more or less wiped the slate clean, according to studies such as the latest one.”

Kind of like diversity in America.

Notice the excessive use, in the article, of “if”, “could”, “may”. Sounds like the speculative rambling of the religion of climate change and its new age goracle fear mongers.
