While fossil fuels (FFs) coal & later oil & natural gas have been humanity’s major source of energy over the past two centuries, 50% of all FFs ever burned have been consumed in the past 30 years (as much as 90% since the early 1940s) as super-expo
Today H sapiens constitute 36% & our domestic livestock another 60%, of a much-expanded mammalian biomass, compared with only 4% for all wild species combined. McRae et al. estimate that the populations of non-human vertebrate species declined by 58% b

@hollergirltn @pwagener08 @BrianGitt That actually does seem to be the case. For example this paper was actually peer-reviewed and published their rebuttal of criticisms, but even so the editor declared it an opinion piece after being forced to accept it.
