Meet the 20,000 new species we discovered in a single year
"Each year, scientists discover an average of 15,000 new species."
Number of New Species Has Dropped : Discovery News

But you make it sound like nature creates 15,000 new species each year (and no nature does not create 15,000 new species each year.)


Scientists have documented more than 1.2 million species. That means scientists have taken written records, of over 1.2 million species, these species have been recorded in a "Biological/scientific classification."

But scientists predict that there are 8.7 million species on the planet. So their are still around 7 million species of animals, plants, fungi, protozoa, and chromists that scientists need to document and discover. But those 7 million unrecorded species are here as you read this, they just need to be documented/discovered.

You find 20K species you didn't know about before they are new to us as humans. How hard is that to figure out? I guess for folks who think every plant and animal life will die because co2 has been declared a pollutant in the near future it's pretty hard to figure out.

How many new species does (nature) create each year?

(I couldn't find the answer to the above question.)

What's the problem then............is that a puter model they are using? LOL

Oh so they are here...........but we just don't know about em and have never seen em.......but they are here. Hey I could use your same argument to say there are aliens from a hundred different planets "here".

I just came from the spot that I built a beach that got destroyed in 1995, I started building the beach in 1984 i''ve been going to that shoreline since I was 8 years old and guess what the low tide was the same as it was 30 to 40 years ago.. how do I know this? I know that shoreline like the back of my hand.. and they are saying the sea level will rise up to 6 feet by the year 2100.. well it is impossible.. because I haven't seen a noticeable sea level rise in 40 years...

Species are created over millions of years through various chaotic and adaptive changes over many generations.

But how many new species come into existence each year??
Or how many new species come into existence every 1,000 years?

Chad.

"Records and research show that sea level has been steadily rising at a rate of 1 to 2.5 millimeters (0.04 to 0.1 inches) per year since 1900."
Is sea level rising?


So that means sea levels would have only risen a few inches (at most) in the last 40 years. And things near the oceans like docks, piers, light houses, and boat launches, often get rebuilt and reinforced. And when they rebuild/reinforce these structures, the modifications would make these sea level increases very hard to see.
