Not at all surprising news:
Conservationists are overestimating the number of species that have been driven to extinction, scientists have said.
A study has found that a third of all mammal species declared extinct in the past few centuries have turned up alive and well.
Some of the more reclusive creatures managed to hide from sight for 80 years only to reappear within four years of being officially named extinct in the wild…
To say they are “overestimating” the number of species going extinct is to be very kind to them. A more accurate headline for this would be, “scientists discover that environmentalist doomsayers are making stuff up”. I mean, come now, when they say “x number of species go extinct every day”, how could they have ever possible known? Its a nonsense statement to make.
But it is an effective statement if you’re merely trying to drive up donations and drive the debate in a certain way. Environmentalist groups needs money (got to pay for all that private jet travel by the likes of Gore, don’t you know?), and they don’t really want to debate. If the argument is about “which particular species actually went extinct, today”, then the environmentalists will lose the debate, as most of the time most species are doing just fine.
As I’ve said before, we live in an Age of Lies and these lies prevent us from developing rational policy. The environmentalists are past-masters at ginning up fake problems and stampeding people in to going along. We must cut through the nonsense of our times before we can even really get started at fixing things.
