130,000 species are gone forever
A couple of billion really. Not very important at all.

We and nearly all the other animals and plants only exists because of 5 mass extinction, the last 65 million years ago. So whatever we extinct will be replaced by something new. Same with climatic change: Who cares, we surely can adapt, some species not but they will be replaced. Don't be so selfish and prevent evolutionary progress.
... a little exaggerated comment, but I think this is an interesting point and I haven't found an argument against it so far.

It says something incredible about our species that we actually give a damn and work so hard to save species. Everyone always sees the negative about humanity but I see something brilliant about that.
