The current situation is that we are likely to cause an effect on
the ecosystem comparable with the major 'events', such as the one
associated with the extinction of the dinosaurs. I.e. a 95%
REDUCTION in the number of species over a short period.


Are you suggesting that 95% of all species (presumably animal species) in the
world will become extinct in the next 200 years? That seems a little excessive
and alarmist. I'd hate to see anything like that happen, but from what I see
of the facts/figures, those sorts of numbers of species going the way of the
Dodo just don't add up. I think this might just be one (relatively
pessimistic/alarmist) view amongst many.
