Academic who suggested that CO2 may completely kill off one million species: Academics are a cautious lot, generally wary of being seen as making "alarmist" predictions

Evidence builds that scientists underplay climate impacts — The Daily Climate

Academics are a cautious lot, generally wary of being seen as making "alarmist" predictions, [warmist Ilya Maclean] said.

Tom Nelson: Warmist Ilya Maclean's incredible hockey stick: 200 years after the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, he can't name one CO2-induced species extinction. In 89 years, he suggests there may be over one million CO2-induced species extinctions.

89 years is only another 32485 days, and to reach a million extinctions by 2100, CO2 has to kill off an average of 30+ species for each of those days.

I'm not an infallible IPCC scientist like Maclean, but I think that's unlikely.
