Minutes after writing I'd lied saying that "most critics are paid" (which I didn't say), @PhilPrange says @IPBES #GlobalAssessment exaggerates extinction risk. His evidence? A piece on a site run by the Reason Foundation. How are they funded? Oh, oops! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason…

Fortunately many of nature’s contributions to people are good for deep #burns

Thank you for your unfaltering commitment @AndyPurvisNHM. The ongoing vitriol against you and the @IPBES is insidious and deeply saddening. You have a world of support and gratitude!

Thanks Phil! I've appreciated the great support I've had from the research community. This has been my first time face-to-face with kneejerk/cynical denialists, and it's been quite an eye-opener!
