B. we can make a rough estimate of a population's risk of a local extinction.
C. we see a steady-state rate of extinctions on all continents, only islands show a difference due to climate change.
D. we see huge extinctions, especially of the larger animals, with ice ages and global warming.
E. we see local extinctions that appear random, and then recolonizations from other areas.
