If the species living in that biotope cannot adapt to this change, they will go extinct.

As have +95% of all species that have ever existed.

That's called evolution. Survival of the fittest.

Which is why cockroaches, ants, flies, ticks, fleas, lice, algae, fungi, mold, rodents and humans can be found everywhere - we are the off-spring of the species that were the best at adaptation.

Stop climate changing, stop weather changing, stop environmental changes and you create evolutionary pressur to turn most species into some variety of the dodo, the panda or the koala:

Breeds bound for extinction due to lack of pressure to develop adaptability.

But when the underlying "ethical" foundation for my generation and all younger ones is "Everyone are equal", stasis inevitably become the ideal state. In other words, death since only before death is everyone equal.

You write:

'Stop climate changing, stop weather changing, stop environmental changes and you create evolutionary pressure to turn most species into some variety of the dodo, the panda or the koala.'

That's kinda the argument I'd make for humans: we've basically frozen evolution due to technological progress, and now we're reaping the benefits.

Or something like that, eh?
