  1. ”’The risk if we continue on our current trajectory is very high. If you look out your window and count six species and think that one of those will potentially disappear, that’s quite profound,’ said the study’s author, Mark C Urban, of the University of Connecticut.”

  3. Meh, not the first species humans have driven to extinction. Whether by climate, chemicals, hunting, deforestation, etc. You name it. We as humans have been screwing over other species since we learned to make tools.
    It ain't going to stop anytime soon unfortunately.
