No, he just made a laundry list of unsupported claims.
So we agree that the models are fine. Okay.
The SA article is not wrong just because it does not mention previous hothouse eras.
Yes and no.
Is it theoretically pissible that some future warming millenia from now will not lead to a loss of biodiversity? Sure, but that is not relevant.
Current warming is causing a loss in biodiversity.
I am not discussing imaginary future hothouse eras.
We are discussing global warming as it is happening right now.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...

I don't even know what you are talking about here. The models thing was me using your language, I was referring the Scientific American article, which you have not adequately defended against my critique.
So we agree that the models are fine. Okay.

So we agree then that there is no reason to believe that a future hot house era is in-and-of-itself going to have lower bio-diversity (controlling for human activity)?
Yes and no.

I never denied this, I argued it was irrelevant as to whether a future hot-house epoch will have lower bio-diversity as a net loss to our current epoch. If you are simply saying that crops and animal populations will suffer in the transition, i've admitted this the whole time. It the stable epoch itself I have been arguing for based on previous epochs we have actual evidence for.
This is the claim I made, your claim is quite irrelevant, please address my actual argument if you want to debate.
Otherwise, quit wasting my time.
