That 'we've killed 50% of species' comment just shows how miseducated people can be.

"There are over 1 million species of arthropods in the world right now, alone. 80% of all species. Don't think we have extincted a whole lot of them."

Not yet. As near as I can tell, Z got his timeline off. There are those who claim we could lose 50% over the next century. That is probably well on the high side, but in much of the world, habitat destruction is going at a rapid clip.
