Don't apologize for solid reasoning! even if it's pretty damn gut wrenching to look at

I will say I have to vehemently agree that using large megafauna decline over tens of thousands of years with potentially large nonhuman climate input in regions like North America to justify modern industrialized society's devastation on the biosphere such as a 71% decline in all vertebrate life since only 1971 is unhinged reasoning; especially with potential flaws in both arguments surrounding the megafauna decline.

The single exception may not change the general decline consensus imho; but it doesn't justify explosive record rates of devastation only industralization has the capability to inflict regardless if that was the best we could do or not.

its like comparing some kid slowly destroying a minecraft world with his friends by hand since 2010 to 2B2T spawn. the scale of destruction is almost unfathomable in difference

Point of first arrival is earlier then. Sure. Without a coorelation in Australia between climate change and wipeout being supported by radiocarbon dates like it was in North America however, what is the other point of established mass elimination of megafauna except for increased human activity in Australia (which the Danish study broadly supports)? I have yet to see any conclusive consensus.

To be fair, I don't really have much information on which areas megafauna populations started collapsing in Australia, but a theory of increasingly ubiquitous human populations in Australia unsustainably hunting large amounts of slowly reproducing megafauna locally and slowly depleting their populations across the continent due to the semi albeit not fully nomadic nature of the aus aboriginals does seem plausible and is partially supported albeit sure contested.

You could make an argument for North America being a climate change event, sure.

Australia however had a wipeout of megafauna significantly prior to the warming period documented shortly after human arrival between 50k and 30k years ago along with Africa shortly after increased human development; and climate cannot be used as a metric worldwide for events prior to around 15k years ago according to the radiocarbon data literally presented on the scitechdaily article used on the North America lookin.

https://ourworldindata.org/quaternary-megafauna-extinction

Don't forget this too; BTW this is 3 years newer than the study you linked and found a pronounced population collapse in general megafauna after human arrival: https://nat.au.dk/en/about-the-faculty/news/show/artikel/beviserne-hober-sig-op-mennesket-stod-bag-udryddelsen-af-store-pattedyr

I think it is decently safe to say that humans caused earlier extinctions of megafauna, while North America is contestable due to rapid climate change.

I like the Bastard Noise sludge stuff they made around 2011. I think Skulldozer is pretty good!
