   What a load of ball***! As if any fossil record includes anything other than a tiny fraction of the species alive at any one time. I’ve never seen a quantified measure of current extinctions for a start and the vast majority of species that are supposed to be going extinct now are tiny variations of very similar creatures. Those creatures are often physically small and soft bodied and would never appear in the fossil record (eg butterflies). Of those creatures that are going extinct now, the majority are losing their environment or being poached. By that I mean deliberately killed by man not boiled by man made CO2.

   Do these people want any kind of credibility?

     Add to that. New species can flourish in a very short time. In a thousand years a small number of one type of creature can repopulate a wide are. New variations can and do develop. A thousand years is a blink of the eye in geological terms. There would be no way of telling that a species that nearly died out were then restocked by a tiny pocket of survivors.
