Many scientists are concerned that plant and animal species may face extinction due to global warming, but biologists at Washington University in St. Louis are trying to predict exactly what will happen to them. Which species will migrate? Which evolve? Which change their behavior? Which become extinct?
Rather than peer into the future, they are looking backward, exploring how species alive today survived global warming at the end of the Pleistocene and asking whether their responses provide any guidance for us today.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

They will find relilience. Polar bears survived an ice-free arctic ocean during the last 11,000 years. Today we are concerned about a little ice melt.

Heres proof “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

PLUS “Biologist E. O. Wilson estimated [5] in 2002 that if current rates of human destruction of the biosphere continue, one-half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in 100 years.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction#Modern_extinctions
That means man is killing 75 + 50= 125% of all lifeforms.
I hope you’re all happy now! sarc/off
I predict that if the Scientific community continues with its Chicken Little Behavior all science will go extinct within the next 50 years.
