I agree with you on that - there are very real, very well-evidenced, species-level harms (x-risks, if you really must) happening right now: pesticide-induced biodiversity loss, soil erosion/loss, ocean acidification, ice shelf melting, and on and on. These are real and quantifiable, and we know of ways to address them (not without cost/pain).

It actually makes me quite angry that as much effort is being wasted on regulating tiny theoretical risks as it is when we are failing on a planetary scale on large concrete risks.
