Climate skeptics extend denial rhetoric to species extinction

Evidence

Ebell extends a harsh Darwinism to lower species as well. “If the oceans are warming, or the acidity is changing, that will benefit some species more than others” (Shnayerson, 2007a). He goes on to explain that the extinction of sea life is of little concern: “Some will take over, others will die out or move on somewhere else” (Shnayerson, 2007a). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2790
