If the monarch butterfly goes extinct like the passenger pigeon, that's irrevocable. And evidence is mounting that we are at the edge of an man made extinction event, and by evidence I mean the number of species that go extinct per year. I don't think the big concern here is hyperbole, but rather the papering of it over, on which point we agree.
