I'm not being dishonest. Sure, humans have caused or nearly caused a few species to become extinct in certain places.
That is a far cry from causing mass extinction on a global scale.
We have also protected and repopulated some nearly extinct species.
Equating the two--that's dishonest at worst, and a difference in judgment at best. Like I said, it's a question of judgment.
What is definitely dishonest is to claim that all sea life will die in ten years, leaving the shores covered with dead fish; or claim that the entire UK will starve to death; and then, when proven wrong by reality, say, "Well, they're having problems, aren't they? See? I wasn't really wrong."
And with such a track record, it seems ridiculous for anyone to believe him when he claims we are now causing mass extinctions on a global scale. How can you take him seriously?
