I was trying hard not to be an alarmist, and I see why that may have been a misguided approach.
Like I said in another reply here, I plan to write a follow up once there's more peer-reviewed data about the extinction of plants. It's a bit of an unknown at this point but the first indications are they are affected much worse than vertebrates. I'll keep whatever you have said in mind and be much more of a downer next time. :)
