To whom...., Lou P.s posts go too far, leaving science behind and drawing the issue of plant extinction into a dystopian vision of the world. The conditions that create new species are isolation, stress and novel combinations of closely related species. In that way we are actually creating an environment for *faster* species creation. Witness the rapid changes in bacteria as a result of antibiotics. However, the process for species formation among all but the simplest of creatures is very slow and our speeding up the process is a drop in the ocean compared to our direct species destruction. peace
