The UN is making up claims about extinctions

In early May, the United Nations put out another dire report saying that humans will cause one million animals to go extinct. Here's what they were up to:

According to the new Report, entitled Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), more than one million species of plants and animals are at risk of extinction (Figure 3A) -- many of which are predicted to be pushed into extinction within just a few decades -- thanks to decades of rampant poisoning, looting, vandalism and wholesale destruction of the planet’s forests, oceans, soils, watersheds, and air.

As with most stories on climate change caused by humans, most of the news media is just feeding these predictions to the public without any questions.

Faunalytics, a group that helps save endangered animals, has only 3,000 animals on its endangered species list so there's reason to ask questions. Start with: where does the one million number come from?

There’s one habitat/creature begging to fail or to be come extinct.

The U. N.

The end is always the same, rktman: the situation is dire, but pony up a large portion of your income and assets, and utopia is right around the corner.

The scariest words during the 1980’s: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”.

The scariest words during the 2010’s: “I’m from the UN and I’m here to help you.”.

Bugs, weeds and fungi no doubt.

IF Only we could just pay our way out of this dilemma- why oh why won’t they tax the crap out of us to fix something that isn’t broken? Won’t somebody, anybody- take all my hard earned money from me because I’m suffering from white privilege icky human syndrome and need to pay the price?

Poachers and head hunters of rare animals are far more devastating to wild animals than Climate Change/Global Warming will ever be. Poachers are an evil lot, a comment that needs no discussion. Culling a herd to keep it healthy and using the meat to provide food and selling the skins/pelts for needed dollars for the up-keep of the parks makes sense however places like Victoria Falls and game reserves are major tourist attractions in Zimbabwe, one license for a lion, elephant, or rino can run as high as $55,000.00...a princely sum that should help the National Park system in Africa; doesn't. Africa is rife with corruption...Few Africans share in the wealth gained from the treasures of their land.

Climate Change - global warming are also rife with faux science and propaganda.

Almost all the “extinctions” are of un-cataloged species, assumed to exist, and assumed to be driven to extinction. In actual fact, we are discovering species thought to be extinct at about the same rate that cataloged species are thought to be going extinct. We had an unfortunate bump of extinctions, of several hundred, upon the discovery of various islands long isolated from the main bodies of land. I am sure, if we had known of the risk of these extinctions, we would have put mating pairs into zoos so as to preserve these species. The fact is, we are doing a good job with zoos, wildlife preserves, and other lands in various stages of development, in preserving the diversity of life on the planet, while transforming the earth from mostly swamps and jungles into a variegated garden.

The UN is making up claims about extinctions.

These UN assholes have to do something to earn their money, so they sit around making up Bullshit to justify their own existence.
