Old geezers living on high ground may not be concerned about ice sheet stability and future sea level rise, or the out-of-control mess that we threaten to leave for coming generations. However, when one looks at species loss and its relation to climate change, simple calculation shows that each new coal-fired power plant will be a dagger in the heart of at least several irreplaceable species, even though we cannot identify specific species with a specific power plant.Remember, Hansen is supposed to be "arguably the world's leading researcher on global warming".
Jim--can you just give us a list naming the first 100 species that you predict will be driven to extinction by human CO2 emissions? Projected dates of extinction would also be nice.
