There’s no science that says that. Talk like this only gives fuel to climate change deniers.

Nobody can prove that we're one keystone-species extinction away from calamity, but nobody can prove that we're not, and the rate at which species are going extinct due to our involvement is such that it's not crazy to be expect big changes over small timescales.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change clearly and starkly lays out the risk around positive feedback loops[1]. There is also some recent research out of University of Oregon stating similar[2]. 1: https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/ https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/ 2: https://phys.org/news/2023-02-scientists-dangerous-feedback-loops-climate.html https://phys.org/news/2023-02-scientists-dangerous-feedback-...
