The Sixth Great Extinction - Not!

While there is no doubt that mankind is putting a lot of pressure on animal species, the arithmetic shows that we are not losing significant biodiversity due to extinctions. In fact, just as throughout geological history (with the exception of the great extinctions) we are probably continuing to gain species.

It does not mean we should not protect wildlife, conserve nature and so on. It simply means that we should be honest as we do so. Raising fears about an imaginary great extinction is a manipulation not based on science.
