Im surprised with how much certainty you make such a claim.

Next to that it's not only the side effect of extinction of one species, but also the unforeseen side effects of the technologies used to accomplish this (extreme) extinction.

The whole point of technologists is that they really have to much faith that we both understand these complex ecosystems and complex technologies we just started using.

To try to put a technology on grand scale that you don't fully understand and can't control once in the wild is really stupid.
