UN IPBES

A department within the United Nations, the "Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services" (IPBES), released a report last May to be given to "policymakers" so they can make the right decisions.

They say that nature is declining all over the world. To illustrate their point, they say that animal and plant species are rapidly being lost: "around 1 million species already face 
extinction, many within decades."

One million species?? Well, over half of that, if you count about 600,000 
species of insects.

"Goals" (I assume they mean the UN's goals) cannot be met with "current trajectories." Apparently drastic measures are called for: "transformative changes across economic, social, political, and technological factors." 

So, they're not asking for much - just to change all human activity across all the globe. 

Exaggeration and overstatement don't impress me.
