Re: 1 in 8 plant species threatened with extinction

[MScoleman]

I am not disputing that many plant species are dieing.  However (not really
knowing shit about botany) it was my understanding that new species are also
created on a regular basis.  Is this true?  ALSO, is the current RATE of
specie disappearance greater than it was say 10-20-30 years ago?   If species
constantly disappear and get created, then the bad thing is species
disappearing at an increasing rate.
