Flaws in mass extinction predictions

Filed under:  — cyberhobo at 11:46 am

My last question led me to this article, which contends that mass extinction predictions fail to account for the self-balancing effects of climate change. While ice caps shrink, for instance, vegetation in rainforests may increase. The fact that past climate temperature increases similar to those predicted have not caused mass extinctions is cited. I’d like to find some past predictions and see how close they were.
