So, I have but one simple question. Can anybody name those hundreds or thousands of species that will become extinct today? Can anybody name even one?

Yes, I find it extremely difficult to believe that %26quot;thousands%26quot; or even %26quot;hundreds%26quot; of species become extinct each and every day.You%26#039;re not going to list them all? That%26#039;s because you cannot list any! The dodo? That went extinct back in the 1700%26#039;s! That was waaay before any sort of industry.
Thanks for proving my point. There have not been any species to go extinct recently. So much for the %26quot;thousands%26quot; going each day.

I can%26#039;t remember the type of bumblebee, but I think some out west (California) went extinct this year.

Most of the %26quot;species%26quot; are common animals with small variations. According to the way science classifys animals as species, beetles from two trees 10ft apart in the rain forrest count as separate species. So thats how they can say that %26quot;thousands%26quot; of species become extinct every day. Every tree that goes down, they figure thats hundreds of %26quot;species%26quot; right there.

im not going to sit here and list them all, but why? do you really find it that hard to believe that thats true? human activities in general put a lot of stress on the planet, i know it%26#039;s not just Americans. It is is true that we cause quite a bit of it though. us and China. Do some research on your own.
