Why are the 25,000 species now going extinct per year (one extinction every 21 minutes) not already extinct from the previous cycle? If current global conditions are part of a "natural" cycle, how could these species not survive the present cycle if the previous warming was in the same historical range?

yo dumbo, species go extinct every second! some we do not even know about or care.that is nature ! the people that counted one extinction every 21 minutes must be the same guys that created global warming.this is better than a ponzi scheme,the suckers are worldwide!

99 percent of all species that have ever exhisted are currently extinct. It has nothing to do with Global warming you hack. What about hunting>? pollution dumped into the oceans? natural predators?
And why is the temp on Mars increasing at the same VERY MINUTE rate as that on Earth? are we driving SUVs there too?
Global Warming is the biggest Scam and Fear tactic ever devised by the Left to Bring America to Its knees.
Dont believe the hype.
Promote alternative fuel sources, listen to BOTH sides of the debate, dont buy into the BS.
Al Gore is a putz. LOL.
Im going to go out and buy another Hummer.

because they are not used to this new cycle. Before they were able to adapt because the changes were as dramatic as they are today. In the past decade their have been major changes in our environment, and nature is not having the time to adapt like it has had in the past.

Species have been disappearing for centuries, eons, millenia even. Gobal warming theory is no more proven by the number of species that become extinct than any other factor.

.Fi rst I would like to say that global warming is fact...some deniers would like you to believe its natural caused by volcanoes for example........ well how many volcanoes are going off right now ? While the smog in LA and Denver and millions of cars on the road and factories spewing out pollution........EVERY DAY....... DAY AFTER DAY........ third world countries still use slash and burn........ also burn old tires to sell steel belts............................certainly not a good thing.........
I also believe extinction is part of evolution......... what would we do with saber tooth tigers and 4 foot scorpions running around........................................................................
that all being said...... and the big cats and bugs are gone.......................... I know this is now an accelerated
rate and the future will make us pay dearly
