Why do salmon eaters don’t care about Australian threatened species?
“Australia has the highest rate of mammalian extinctions in the world … The only way to protect the hundreds of threatened Australian forest species is to end native forest logging....The Maugean skate is very much at the forefront of the zero extinction target."

"Something much worse than asteroids" is hype: the late-#Devonian and end-#Ordovician were less severe that the end-#Cretaceous, which was definitely† caused by an #asteroid. But this is good work that may help nail down the cause of the earlier #extinctions ... which were still pretty bad!

Earth.comTwo of Earth's mass extinctions were caused by something much worse than asteroidsThe rate of stars going supernova near Earth appears to match two mass extinctions -- 372 million years ago and 445 million years ago.
