Sorry Chris, in a world of nasty, stubborn, skeptics, unwilling to genuflect
at the great, green Gaia, expect lots of disagreeable people like me. What
you have put forth does not line up well with cause and effect, but rather,
ideology. I'll pass, thank you.
Of course, I heartily agree that you are most disagreeable. the kind of
giant of clear headed human intellect, who responds to facts with
fulminations trailing off into nonsensical strings of words. a kind of Tea
Party inspired stream of consciousness.
I wouldn't expect anything less of you; nor more.. And that's the rub now,
isn't it?
Chris

>>Jesus, Chris. You must think that people all fit into nice little shoe
boxes,
easily, applied taxonimies. Yea vearilly, no.
No.... just people, like you, who make non-sensical assertions such as:
because
they can hear tweety birds in their backyard, the global extinction rate
cannot
possibly be at 10,000 times the average background rate of extinction on
this
planet, because otherwise how could there still be tweety birds for our
scientific observer to hear?
Recent studies have estimated that there are around eukaryotic 8.7 million
species on the planet -- and this is just the eukaryotic species (and then
there
are many millions of additional species of Archaea, Bacteria and all those
proto-alive viruses). How many of these species do you think you can see in
your backyard?
Does it begin to dawn in your head why I don't take you seriously at all?
For,
if you confuse such kind of anecdotal BS for science you are profoundly
ignorant
of what science is, both in its ideal sense and even to quite an extent in
its
imperfect day to day practice. And when you mix your profound ignorance of
science -- based on how you rely on laughably non-scientific "surveys" as
the
rather flippant and non-thinking basis for -- in this particular case --
your
assertion that the extinction rates cannot possibly be that high, because
you
have song birds in your backyard.... mix it in with your heartfelt vocation
towards preaching your Tea Party screed... to anyone and everyone (as if you
were a talking point conveyance mechanism) it begins to become rather
unpleasant.... for me at least.
Not everyone, spudboy, just you.

>>Yes indeed! And the acid rain is a-pouring down, and everyone's face is
a-sizzlin and a-popin from the sulphur, and the Ozone hole is a-lettin in
the
gamma rays, and the BP oil spill has a-wiped out all the shrimp, and the
Germans

and
a makin me a-drown, here in Ohio, and the spotted owl is a knocking over
liquor
stores cause we destroyed their natural habitat, now they're on food stamps!
You
know, one time the little boy will cry wolf, and you will be right, but
nobody
will listen, because as an act of green faith, you have been pushing the
message
once too often. Sir, I cannot partake of you Green Rites Church, but rest
assured,I do read the literature.
Are you a bible thumper? Certainly helps explain your gross ignorance of the
scientific method.

>>I hopefully, wouldn't think that there's a tea party or libertarian view
of
science. The libertarians, unless I am wrong, are 100% pro-science, many
atheists, and all that. Your 10000 extinction rate claim appears specious,
because if this was the case, not a tweet bird wouldn't exist, nor we be
doing
the Everything List two-step.
Precisely -- that is YOUR GUESS. You are basically admitting that you are
too
lazy to do the research and investigate the available public domain
information
and data that exists, and that has been compiled for over a hundred and
fifty
years or more with increasing accuracy and quantity of data over time. You
demonstrate a total lack of understanding of just how many species of life
exist
on this planet -- hint it is far greater than the census of song birds in
your
back yard.
What you just admit you did -- to form your opinion -- is not science, but a
shallow anecdotal impression your Tea Party addled brain feels comfortable
with.
Your opinion is worthless. And so is mine. Fortunately there is a vast body
of
field data, of biological censuses taken over time. The figure of 100,000
times
the background rate of extinction is derived from this body of existing
data; It
is also rather more rigorous than your anecdotal "certainty".
Do you really wish to continue making an idiot of yourself?
>>My guess is that whatever the human species is doing it is killing off
lots of
fauna and plants, especially in the hungry countries that want their people
to
live better, materially. Having said that, it isn't 10000 times etc. If the
greens were sane, and I submit they are all limbic,
More of your bovine (unsupported anecdotal) opinions.... it must be very
self-affirming to live in this fact free world; where beliefs become reality
by
being fervently believed.
