Pure BS from the IPCC of course:
” The resilience of many ecosystems is likely to be exceeded this century by an unprecedented combination of climate change, associated disturbances...20-30% of plant and animal species assessed so far are likely to be at increased risk of extinction “
Known species extinctions in the last several centuries total about 1,000, with very few if any solely attributed to man-made climate change.

PS: These fear-mongers are now lumping in deforestation, farming,etc with man-made CO2 since man-made CO2 is preactically irrelevant they now desperately go over the top with- EVERYTHING MAN DOES WILL DESTROY THE PLANET.
Makes me sick.
More than 1,000 new species are discovered for every one that goes extinct plus we are creating new ones ourselves. The DNA of recently extinct species is often saved. Once the technology is developed many extinct species will be brought back to life. I imagine within 25 years the dodo bird will be brought back. I just hope they never get the idea of bringing back the Neanderthals. We don't need more welfare state voters.
