"Pimm believes the sixth mass extinction is just beginning, and not well on its way.

“It’s a little bit dramatic,” Pimm said. “Yes, we are driving species to extinction a thousand times faster than we should. So yes, there is a problem. But on the other hand, telling people that we’re all doomed and going to die isn’t terribly helpful.”

I think Pimm would be a fun guy to go to happy hour with. I would try to pin him down on EXACTLY how fast we should drive species to extinction...and the most sustainable ways to do it!
