What's the big deal - it's just survival of the fittest.

Yes, but... one of the primary adaptations for climate change is to move. Because species' ranges and habitats have been restricted, it's harder for them to move, making extinction more likely. Leaving out climate change entirely, human activities have certainly restricted the range of a lot of species.

In the end it's still survival of the fittest as it was meant to be.

Oh yeah---tell that to the nutria and fire ant (and thousands of other species whose range has been greatly expanded by human activity.

Climate changes, species go extinct---so what. It has happened since the planet cooled enough to have liquid water.

Change is the reality of the world--you "global warming" propagandists are trying to achieve stasis--which is flatly impossible.

Just being in Costa Rica, people and guides there were very upbeat on their govt's attaempt to keep the rain forest, jungles, many species alive and thought that dealing with the turtles, sloths, etc. other frogs(red and greenies), Costa Rica was doing a good job. Just anecdotal, I realize, but on variedplantations I visited, the same statements were made. If there is a Frog death march going on, those people were not aware of it.
