Totally irrelevant. We all know that the apocolypse is just right around the corner. Then, all those who believe in Christ will be taken to heaven during the rapture. Those who get left behind will live through 7 years of hell on Earth before final judgement day. Why worry about species going extinct if the end is near?
what is the impact of religious fundamentalism on human awareness of the future on earth?
What future? The end is near!
Is Global warming preventable? How will the relocation of coastal populations be able to be accomplished given the diminishing resources globally? Will humans be able to put aside our selfish and survivalist nature and cooperate, or will there be wars as a result of these massive changes?
None of that matter. The end is near!
Can humanity maintain the standards of living that we in the United States now take for granted?
Who cares. The end is near!
What IF? What if there are other natural disasters...such as Yellowstone or a Pacific Coast Tsunami and/or Earthquake? Could we survive? If so, would it be worth it?
Any/every natural disaster that will occur will be a sign of the nearing apocolypse. The end is near!

Owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have occasionally used the academic jargon generator to produce phrases that even I don't fully understand. The jargons are not meant to offend anyone or to insult anyone's intelligence!

Do you know how many species are on the planet? No? Neither does anybody else. Estimates range from 3 million to 100 million. Quite a range.
Perhaps you could tell us how many species there are based on how many animal Noah could hold on his ark?
