    Miglior citazione da The Sixth Extinction: Biodiversity's Climate Crisis

    “

    We're looking at what scientists are calling the sixth mass extinction, but this time, we're the asteroid. We're losing species at hundreds or thousands of times the natural rate, and it’s not just about individual species disappearing—it’s about entire ecosystems unraveling.
