The concept of 'biodiversity' is a profound departure from extinction. To define the viability of life on Earth as species richness is to limit the ability of life to exist. In defining species as a particular set of descriptors is to depart from the reality of Earth's biotic nature.
Yet for as limber as biodiversity is in definition, when one regards it's potential, is it realistic to expect the very word to define the potential for everlasting adaptation of life FOR Earth?
I think not.
Sometimes scientists lock themselves into a reality of definitions in order to satisfy the 'idea' of laws and governance of their science. It is excellance they seek in providing exacting definitions to scientific language. In this exacting language some have found a 'safe haven' to provide for tolerance to extremes such as the emergency we are facing on Earth with Human Induced Global Warming. It is that 'idea' of tolerance of biotic demise with the lone survival of humans on Earth that I intend to challenge. From the beginning of my advocacy, now a full five years of continuous appeal, I have stated humans will find this episode of Earth's warming less and less tolerable then they expect with the very potential of exceeding the 'limits' of human survival.
