We Just Breached the 410 PPM Threshold for CO2

Yes, ecosystems change constantly. An ecosystem is a state and the state changes as its components change.

The fact that this is news to you is a clue that perhaps you know less about this subject than you think you do.

Now you're just getting nasty, without any substantive response to my assertions.

Hint: that means I won.

You claimed that the ecosystem "didn't survive" the Chicxulub event because there were different organisms afterward. I pointed out that by that "definition" the ecosystem has never "survived", because it has been in a state of constant change since day one.

Rather than responding to this, you just got nasty.

I repeat: I win. Sorry.

I did respond: I said that you are correct that ecosystems are always changing.

The question is, what do those changes mean for individual organisms? Because that's what you and I are.

Changes to the climate and ecosystem are like changes to velocity. Whether the change is good or bad for people depends on the magnitude and direction.

I do think that your focus on who is "winning" an imaginary Internet slap fight is detracting from your understanding.
