Publishers Marketplace: Recent Deals: “University of Washington paleontologist and astrobiologist Peter D. Ward’s THE GLOBAL WARMING EXTINCTIONS: The Once and Potentially Future Greenhouse Gas Catastrophes, arguing that rising levels of carbon dioxide were responsible for most of the world’s great extinctions, and considers what that means for our warming future, to T.J. Kelleher at Smithsonian Books, in a good deal, by Samuel Fleishman at Literary Artists Representation (world).”
What’s interesting about this is that it provides an overdetermined explanation for the most recent (Holocene) mass extinction. Even without greenhouse warming, the spread of homo sapiens over the earth in the last 30,000 years has triggered a mass extinction. So what difference will this book make?
