Das Klima war nicht schuld
Der Mensch ließ große Säugetiere aussterben

Schon am Anfang der Menschheit , die Bestie Mensch die ihre minderen Mitgeschöpfte zum Aussterben brachten, durch Gier nach immer mehr.

Welchen Nachteil hätten wir davon, stürben (afrikanische Wild-)Elefanten aus?
Keinen?
Eben das nehme ich an!

das verhält sich da so, wie mit dem aussterben der saurier. die erdgeschichte ist eine aneinanderreihung von artensterben, ganz ohne menschliches zutun....is nun mal so. die natur füllt jede lücke über kurz oder lang......da können auch wir menschen nicht das geringste dran ändern.

Keinen Einzigen, schade wärs trotzdem.

Let me tell you about endangered species, all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. It's arrogant meddling. It's what got us in trouble in the first place. Doesn't anybody understand that? Interfering with nature. Over 90%, way over 90% of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone. They're extinct. We didn't kill them all. They just disappeared. That's what nature does. We're so self-important, so self-important. Everybody is going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails. And the greatest arrogance of all, save the planet. What?
I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren't enough bicycle paths, people trying to make the world safe for their Volvos. There is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The people are fucked! Difference, difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. It's been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little more than 200 years.
Two hundred years versus four and a half billion, and we have the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat, that somehow we're going to put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floatin' around the sun? The planet has been through a lot worse than us, been through all kinds of things worse than us, been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages, and we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans...
