That's very hard to say without quantifying "likely" and "considerable". One could say the same about most extinction events, for certain definitions of those two words.
I find mood affiliation to be a much more convincing explanation than convoluted definitions of "not likely" and "considerable".
Convincing explanation for what? I thought we were discussing whether or not it was worth spending resources to prevent global extinction from global warming... which is more of a question than an explanation.
How is putting a numerical amount to "not likely" and "considerable" convuluted. That's the basis of any decision probelm.
