The Sixth Mass Extinction is over before it began…

By Jo Nova

If man made CO2 emissions have any effect at all on extinctions — it stops them happening

New research looked at 500 years worth of extinctions and concludes that species loss peaked about a century ago.  Far from the rate accelerating as we pour carbon dioxide into the sky, fewer species are disappearing now than forty or fifty years ago.

Kristen Saban and John Wiens considered data on as many as two million species. They specifically analyzed some 912 plants and animals that became extinct in the last 500 years.

Many of the doom and gloom forecasts took extinction rates from long ago and extrapolated them mindlessly forward, as climate modelers are want to do.

Extinction rates have slowed across many plant and animal groups, study shows

EurekaAlert

“To our surprise, past extinctions are weak and unreliable predictors of the current risk that any given group of animals or plants is facing,” said lead author Saban, who recently graduated from the U of A and is currently a doctoral student at Harvard University.

Humans have wiped out species, but mostly by bringing in rats, pigs and goats to isolated islands:

Extinction rates varied strongly among groups, and extinctions were most frequent among mollusks, such as snails and mussels, and vertebrates, but relatively rare among plants and arthropods. Most extinctions were of species that were confined to isolated islands, like the Hawaiian Islands. On continents, most extinctions were in freshwater habitats. Island extinctions were most frequently related to invasive species, but habitat loss was the most important cause (and current threat) in continental regions. Many species appeared to go extinct on islands because of predators and competitors brought by humans, such as rats, pigs and goats.

The researchers could not find any evidence suggesting climate change was increasing the rate of extinction:

Somewhat unexpectedly, the researchers found that in the last 200 years, there was no evidence for increasing extinction from climate change.

“That does not mean that climate change is not a threat,” Wiens said. “It just means that past extinctions do not reflect current and future threats.”

It seems like a very comprehensive study. Given it’s importance, I’m sure the UN will be delighted. It’s a wonder they didn’t commission a study just like this 30 years ago…

There are many reasons for extinctions but “climate change” barely rates a mention, which is not at all surprising given that every species alive today has lived through hotter times, colder times and times that changed faster than today. Man-made climate change is nothing compared to asteroids and volcanoes.

The best way to protect biodiversity is to understand what actually causes extinctions, not to shamelessly exploit the threat of them as a political tool for power and profits. Shame on the UN, the Greens and Greenpeace.

And in the end, rich nations protect the environment better than poor ones.  The best thing we can do for the Mountain pygmy possum is to protect our GDP.  Poverty has terrible effects on national parks and land use.

As I wrote 5 years ago — there’s only been one supposed mammal extinction due to climate change — a rat on a sandbar:

Let’s get a grip on the current state of the Sixth Mass Extinction — so far the only mammal extinction officially due to “man-made” climate change was a colony of little brown rats which had washed up on a sandy spit south of Papua New Guinea. The “island” is so small it has no fresh water, no trees, and the highest point is all of 3 meters above the high tide mark. One king wave could have wiped out the colony. Relatives of these rats live in Papua New Guinea, and presumably more rats will wash up there again sometime and the cycle will start over. As of 2019, that was the only actual mammal anyone can name as an extinction “caused by climate change”.

As of 2025, there doesn’t appear to be any others.

    They left out the Moron category or didn’t look at the data for Australia. That category seems to have increased. Blackout Bowen is living ptoof that extinction rates for Morons have dropped markedly.

    That’s why he has survived along with all of the other Marxists here in Australia. That’s another category that seems to have increased.

    There needs to be a Conservative backlash here to wipe them all out.

      If you start down the mental problems path then you’ll find a whole lot more to add to your list. They are now so common that we just refer to them by their initials.

        In the late 1960′ to 1970’s onward it became a trend throughout the Western world to close down the mental asylums because of:

        1) the development of antipsychotic drugs like chlorpromazine (released to market 1954),

        2) the Left believed that the former inmates could quite happily live “within the community” (but not as their neighbours!) but forgot that many wouldn’t take their pills and

        3) mental institutions were built on large tracts of highly desirable urban land that started to become very valuable and it was only necessary to slip a few envelopes of money as bribes to the relevant politicians so developers could obtain the land.

        I think the closures were also accelerated due to the influence of the 1975 film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (and possibly the 1962 book the film was based upon).

          The Bondi rampage that left six dead was perpetrated by such a man. He didn’t take his medication and many paid the price. Cauchi suffered from schizophrenia and was homeless. How many are living on the streets just like Cauchi? Was it humane to put these people out of a secure and safe establishment? I don’t think so.

          In the United States, it was mostly about Ken Kesey’s book, women’s liberation, medical abuses and federal budget cuts. The book exposed the dehumanizing aspect of mental hospitals (but failed to consider the alternative of dangerously mentally ill people living on the streets). The women’s liberation movement hated mental hospitals due to them being used to silence/disappear inconvenient women back when ‘patriarchy’ was a legitimate problem. Medical abuses were uncovered, particularly relating to lobotomies and eugenic practices (involuntary sterilizations, etc.).

          All of that got the left-end of the political spectrum agitated about shutting down mental hospitals. Then the kicker came when Ronald Reagan was elected, and saw the issue as a bipartisan win-win for him politically. He could shut down the hospitals and make the lefties happy, while reducing the size of government spending to make the righties happy. Sadly, it was one of the Gipper’s dumbest decisions, as it led directly to the homeless crisis we endure today.

            The movement was part of a trend to define madness as more of a social construct than an illness. Books such as The Myth of Mental Illness (Thomas Szasz, 1961) and Madness and Civilisation (Michel Foucault, also 1961) helped create a legacy that still endures today.

    And all these solar farms and wind farms, along with the associated ground clearing and access roads and pylon rows won’t cause any loss of habitat and subsequent extinction? e.g. the near total loss of the Tasmanian subset of Wedge Tail eagles?

    It is endlessly repeated Leftist propaganda* that Australia has the highest number of human-induced extinct species in the world, (only since European settlement of course, previous inhabitants are not blamed for any extinctions they may have caused such as the megafauna).

    Digging deeper, it is simply not true, like just about anything claimed by the Left.

    Even Their ABC (see link below) admits it’s fourth worst, not the worst. Not good but still not the worst. Even then, some of those extinctions may be attributable to natural climate change or the species were already marginalised by the previous inhabitants due to their shocking mistreatment of the land such as endless burning which permanently altered the landscape and extincted all the flora that wasn’t fire resistant and fauna that couldn’t outrun the fire.

    Also, some animals have simply outlived their ecological niche. That’s how evolution works.

    Another issue is that in Australia it is generally illegal (with very few exceptions) to keep native animals as pets. Some of the endangered species would make cute pets. If they were allowed as pets that would encourage more preservation and breeding.

    It’s good to see some genuine environmental groups, not your standard loud-mouthed by do nothing “green” types, purchasing land for conservation projects of various kinds. The Government is the last one that can be relied upon to preserve wildlife, it was their action that led to the extinctions of animals such as the thylacine and endangerment of the dingo via bounties etc.. As they say, if you want something done properly, do it yourself.

      I think that the extinctions quoted and the graphs have a major flaw.

      Let’s say that in the 1850’s the world lost 100 species. And the 1950’s saw a loss of 200 species. Some idiot would graph that and show a rise. A doubling.

      Somebody else might ask. How many species did you NOT know of during the 1850’s compared to the 1950’s. For example, that loss of 100 occurred when we knew of 10% of the total number of species and in the 1950’s it occurred when we knew of 50% of the total number of species. So we didn’t even see a large portion going extinct. That earlier loss implies that it could be in error by an additional 90% and the latter by an additional 50%.

      See the error. If you only look for the keys under the lamp post, that’s the only spot you’ll find them.

      As a bonus, you’ll never get the ABC to understand that issue. They are focused on hammering Oz, they’ll never see the missing data over the horizon, they just aren’t looking.

    I live in AZ, electric prices are among the second highest in the nation.

    Gas prices are still near record levels. Almost $4.00 for premium, $3.70 for mid range gasoline.

    When I first moved here to get out of that hellhole CA, premium was less than $2.00, and mid range was less than $1.60.

    Trump said over and over he was going to lower gas prices. It still hasn’t been felt here.

      Hmm!

      Bill in Arizona mentions that the current mid range cost of $3.70/Gallon, and that translates to $1.46/Litre here in Australia, and that’s way lower than what we pay here in (well, I’m in Beenleigh) where it’s currently $1.96/Litre.

      Even that Premium of $4.00/Gallon translates to $1.58/Litre.

      Convert the smaller U.S. Gallon to Imperial gallons, then to litres, and then take the exchange rate into account.

      At the previous figure of $1.60/gallon, then that’s 63 cents/litre, and it hasn’t been that low here in Oz since, umm, the turn of the Century.

      Tony.

      I wonder how many people (Australian and American both) know that the gallon sizes are different. They were both the same size, the smaller gallon, up until 1824, (the wine gallon of 3.79 litres) when the British standardised their systems, defining one gallon (now 4.55 litres) to be the volume of 10 pounds (weight) of water, which was larger, and the U.S. did not adopt this change.

        Evil people in the oil industry – like me, use “pounds per gallon” as a unit of density. As we use US gallons, fresh water is 8.34ppg, seawater, about 8.68ppg. Some oil companies prefer pounds per cubic foot (pcf), and one particular company of the Dutch persuasion refers to a gradient, kPa/m, as a density.

        Often it’s a wild hybrid of units, metres for depth, psi for pressure, gallons(us) per minute for flow, barrels (42 galUS) for volume, kilopounds for weight (or force), kilodecaNewton-metres for torque, and specific gravity for density.
        And then, of course, there is the decimal foot, with its 10 inches that are really 12.
        all on the one rig at the same time.

        Fun times!

            The decimal foot broke my mind briefly. The tape measure had 10 inches to a foot. I had to compare it to a “real” foot to be convinced. Until then, I thought it could be a relatively elaborate prank on “the new guy”.
            The rest… it’s surprising how quickly one adapts and learns the range of measurement values that are reasonable for a given unit.

              “Range of measurement values that are reasonable for a given unit” … Speaking as a 43-years-and-counting veteran of the oil and gas industry, I’m with you on that one, James, and every competent driller carries a storehouse of the reasonable ranges around in his head, along with the ability to instantly convert between systems of units. It’s also the case that some units are more useful – or, at least, user friendly – than others. The psi (pounds per square inch) is in that sweet spot that makes it useful in 99% of oilfield circumstances, whereas the kPa is just too small and the bar is just too big … The psi has just the right level of precision for, to name but 2 examples, the tail end of a pressure test and the quantification of reservoir pressure. And as a unit of depth, the foot is much more useful than the metre, which is way too coarse when you’re putting your perforating guns on depth … The insistence of some Operators on using SI units in the oilfield is deeply flawed, in my view.

      We are approaching $2.00 in Wyldoming. It is currently $2.21 but it keeps going down about every three days.

      Diesel is still $3.64, though. But Diesel goes up in the fall every year, as east of the Mississippi starts stock piling fuel oil for winter. It’s because they don’t have hardly any natural gas pipelines. They have practically made them illegal in blue states. So, they keep depending on trucked in fuel oil, instead of having clean and cheap natural gas heat.

      Where I disagree is with Prof Happer’s acceptance of man made CO2 in the atmosphere. He did not argue against it but said it was a ‘personal’ opinion.

      They do good work but I am not happy with accepting that the increase in atmospheric CO2 is man made or even could be man made.

      I think he likes to concede a point to defuse the argument and get onto the endless benefits of increased CO2. But it leaves extremists with the ‘pollution’ argument which is nonsense as nothing humans can do will change atmospheric CO2 levels.

      And I find it ludicrous that to balance the books, each year half of fossil fuel CO2 emissions stay in the atmosphere forever. What sort of new science is that?

      130

    “If man made CO2 emissions have any effect at all”

    No, they don’t. CO2 emissions all go straight into the ocean. Total CO2 has increased 2% and that is all in the ocean. Any alleged connection between extinction and fossil fuels is spurious correlation, not science.

    Increased CO2 is a slow linear drift in the ratio of ocean CO2 to atmospheric CO2 in the very rapid exchange where more CO2 enters and leaves the ocean in two weeks than is produced by burning fossil fuels. And overall this increase has been a boon for all life on earth, given that all life on earth is made from CO2.

    160

    • #
      TdeF

      In 1958 it was quickly determined with radio carbon dating that fossil fuel CO2 was only 2.03% of atmospheric CO2. It can be prove that the figure is the same today, 2%. In 2025 the doubling of C14 in 1965 has as e-kt and now the C14 figure is +2% higher at the constant reference level not seen since 1750!

      Today annual fossil fuel CO2 emissions have just reached a tiny 1% of atmospheric CO2. But there is 50x as much CO2 in the ocean so only 0.02% in total CO2.

      However accumulated fossil fuel CO2 in the ocean is now close to 2%. (Sea water at the surface dates to 400 years because of fossil fuel CO2.)

      So fossil fuel CO2 goes into the ocean so quickly that it makes zero contribution to atmospheric CO2!

      And the reason there is even 2% of fossil fuel Co2 in the air is that if reflects the 2% of fossil fuel CO2 in the water! This confirms the opinions of many scientists pre 1990 that CO2 was very quickly absorbed given that it is so incredibly soluble.

      As said, the increase in atmospheric CO2 is enormously beneficial. Removal of CO2 from the atmosphere, lowering it to 0.02% would mean the end of all life on the surface of the planet. But the ocean would fine. It’s where all life started anyway, a fluke reaction between CO2 and H2O and sunlight.

    One of the problems with seeing everything through a single lens like climate change is that real problems are obscured.

    Many years ago I listened to a talk by Bob Brown at JCU in Townsville. His entire talk was on the subject of habitat destruction. I preferred the greens when that was their focus. Even then greens supporters in the audience were idiotic zealots bent on world domination and didn’t seem to have any idea why Brown was talking about habitat destruction which was did not matter to them any where near as much as world domination.

    When it comes to extinctions there are numerous examples of iconic species at the apex of their food chain such as some tiger and ape species which are rightly classified as endangered. Lose a species at the top of the food chain and lots of bad stuff happens.

    This rant is simply my perspective that I care far more about flora and fauna than I do about politicians and bureacrats and their quest for power and money.

    Exhibit A is the destruction of forest to make way for a road to the latest COP venue in Brazil. Anybody involved in that travesty has well and truly lost the plot.

      If you want to see the world’s largest forest, take the Siberian Express. Tigers, wolves, bears, virgin forest as far as you can see over thousands of miles. Far bigger than Brazil. It’s fun to watch the species change too as you change climates, soil types, mountains. No people. And if you dare to sleep outside, remember you are edible too. All the top predators are there. As far as I can determine from reading, Brazil is in now balance, a jungle the size of Australia and mostly impenetrable.

      There are other jungles like Papua New Guinea, jungles so dense and terrain so mountainous that few knew how many people live there. The population has been discoverd to be closer to 12 million, half of Australia, but I doubt anyone really knows.

      And the communist Greens care nothing for the environment. It’s is really funny to hear Bob Brown and Christin Milne now wanting windmills banned in their backyard. The ultimate NIMBYs.

      I’m not at all sure that the issue is one of WAKING UP. That would suggest that the loonies, liars and con merchants you refer to lack the consciousness to mend their ways.

      From my perspective the progress since the 60s you correctly identify has not only brought great benefit to mankind but has also provided unprecedented opportunities for exploitation and destruction by the bad guys.

      Sadly, history tells us that the never ending quest for power and domination is a human trait and it is within every one of us. It is not going away.

      The good news is that a divine spark is also within every one of us even if it does not shine as brightly in some as it does in others. It has brought mankind this far and it too is not going away.

      There will forever be dark ages and enlightenments. That is the essence of the ascent of man.

        “the never -ending quest for power and domination”
        It seems to me that the best farmers and livestock handlers are those who seek to merely facilitate or improve what nature is serving up to them.
        We notice this especially with the free-range goats ; it is easier to enclose them if you let them think that they are getting away
        What really makes me laugh is the various names of the “best” biocides; talk about domination.

      Neville, you’ll never persuade the loonies. Better working on the liars and con merchants.

    Morano has always done good work. Whether it’s his writings or his short docos on the climate scam, all top class. Animals are no different to humans. If the country where the animal resides has better prosperity mostly due to cheap energy, they’re less likely become extinct. For humans we could rationalize population increase by making poor countries wealthier. Hooking those people up to a reliable electricity supply grid should have always been the UN’s main mission. The UN’s initial mission was to maintain peace and stop wars. Well, they messed that up and now can’t even reduce world CO2 emissions after 30 years of trying. If you want to save animals don’t hug a tree, go hug a bowser at your local service station. ( for our US friends that’s the pump at your local gas station)

      Agreed that prosperity provides what is needed for humans to care for themselves and the world around them. Only with sophisticated energy sources do people have the opportunity to turn to tasks higher than basic survival.

    The OWI Data links for extreme weather death rates etc for Africa have plummeted since 1985, YET their population has increased by 1 billion people over the last 40 years.
    Africa is our poorest continent yet extreme weather deaths are now the lowest in their history.
    Does anyone not understand the real world data yet and the SAFETY NET we’ve built into our very recent history today?
    And the safety nets today are better warnings, fossil fuels, education and communications etc.

      Sorry but the African deaths are total deaths per year and not death rates per 100,000 people.
      This makes the latest 40 year period even safer than I claimed.

    My guess, especially after Pandemic, is that the single most likely species threatened by anthropogenic extinction is the anthros.

    Follow the Science.
    I well medicalized modern Western child should have at least 60 injections before age 18 … by law.
    By which time they should have chosen a gender … by law.

    I shall attempt to coin a new phrase …
    ‘Iatrogenic Mass Extinction’.*

    *Don’t forget, they were actually injecting zoo animals with the COVID vax.

    said lead author Saban, who recently graduated from the U of A and is currently a doctoral student at Harvard University

    Full stop. Junk science alert.

    ‘Doctoral student’ is trashy credential inflation. He is a graduate student; he has not earned having ‘doctor’ associated with him.

    For comparison, medical students are not called “doctor students.”

    I just learned something this morning which may be relevant. In Hokkaido there is scenic drive along the coast called the Ororon Line. Ororon is the name of a type of sea bird native to the area. Ororon is onomatopeia to the bird’s mating call. But the bird has been in decline in recent years…. since there was big wind farm installed along the line. They are now getting rid of those wind turbines.

      I wish Australia similarly cared about its bird (and bat and insect) life.

      The following article does not refer to that bird in particular but other birds threatened by the giant fans in Japan and the subsequent suspension of wind projects.

      In Australia the fanatical obsession with windmills overrides any and all environmental concerns.

      https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/20230806-127856/

      August 6, 2023

      The central and local governments have suspended a number of wind farm construction projects over concerns about the protection of endangered birds.

      Japan is currently pursuing wind power as a source of clean energy with an eye on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, but fears have also been voiced over wind turbine strikes on rare avian species.

      There have been many cases in which imperiled birds of prey — including golden eagles and mountain hawk-eagles — have been killed in bird strikes both domestically and overseas, giving rise to the key issue of balancing decarbonization and the preservation of important species.

    Scary new “unprecedented” “super” influenza outbreak in Once Great Britain..

    Mass jabbing urged.

    Much dishonesty from “authorities”.

    Dr Suneel Dhand discusses:

    I wonder if there’ll be mass panic and lockups in Australia as well? Isn’t it time for another covid-style panic and lockup?

    I’m sure Australian “authorities” will be pleased to force mass compulsory mRNA “vaccinations” on us. They’re on the way…

    26 November 2025

    A new mRNA vaccine against flu is showing substantially better protection than today’s standard shots in a pivotal clinical trial.

    The Pfizer-developed ‘modRNA’ vaccine was 34.5% more effective than current vaccines at preventing illness caused by influenza A in a trial of over 18,000 people.
