You might want to listen to what Hank Campbell says about "science".
Hank Campbell's Profile | Science 2.0
Back to the Article.
This is what Hank is saying:
Wait, what?? That's a lot of helping verbs confusing what should be a fairly clear issue, if it were clear.
If it were clear.
And here he says:
Well, greater extinctions occurred when Europeans visited the Americas and in a much shorter time. And since we don't know how many species there are now, or have ever been, if someone makes a model and claims tens of thousands of species are going extinct today, that sets off cultural alarms. It's not science, though.
And he's right, it's not science. And it won't be until the extinctions are truly studied as "science".
On the other hand, if you pollute the world the way China has polluted their country, then for sure, you will have "mass extinctions".
