An even more interesting issue is that rate at which new species are arising, and the relationship between this being rate and the rate at which they are discovered. The two rates must be related but what is the relationship?Climate change could drive to extinction as many as one in six animal and plant species, according to a new analysis.
In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, Mark Urban, an ecologist at the University of Connecticut, also found that as the planet warms in the future, species will disappear at an accelerating rate.
“We have the choice,” he said in an interview. “The world can decide where on that curve they want the future Earth to be.”
As dire as Dr. Urban’s conclusions are, other experts said the real toll may turn out to be even worse. The number of extinctions “may well be two to three times higher,” saidJohn J. Wiens, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona.

Which new species are those, viruses, bacteria and bugs?An even more interesting issue is that rate at which new species are arising, and the relationship between this being rate and the rate at which they are discovered. The two rates must be related but what is the relationship?
We are of course discovering new species all the time. But what we don't have a good handle on is what is the rate of new species formation. The rate at which we discover them could be greater or less than the rate at which they form. Is it greater or less, or even about the same? It would help of course if we knew how new species arise. Although evolution within a rapidly reproducing species is easily observable, no one has yet observed the formation of a new species. That raises a most interesting question? (I won't, however, bother to ask it.)Which new species are those, viruses, bacteria and bugs?
That's not true....no one has yet observed the formation of a new species...

Beside the fact that the purpose of testing the hypothesis is above your reasoning power, you're attacking the messenger. A typical rightie tactic.These are the same Norwegian Scientists who spent who spent £40m and 10 years on research trying to make a Donkey feel shame...
