I believe that extinction has already occurred, by way of 50 years of human always ongoing evolution. I do not believe it requires genocide. That is, homo sapiens "wise ones" to what is outside of domiciles, now includes clothing, cars, and smartphones, might be renamed in latin terms. The age of paranoia, beginning in 1995, is over. Less disinformation please. We don't use fake names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CheathamPatrick (talk • contribs) 12:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All of the extinctions by 2100

It says that up to half of plant and animal species that live today could die out by 2100. Up to half of plant and animal species that live in what year? We don't want 2099 to come and it says they could be gone by 2100 or worse, 2101 to come and it says 2100.
