Tat may be true, but he should look at history. Die-offs may takes hundreds/thousands of years, changes will be subtle and unless he has a photographic mind he won't notice any difference in his lifetime. Of course there is always the cataclysmic event like a 6 mile asteroid crashing into the Earth, which speeds up the process.
It has been +/- 650 my so we might be due for another event(I'm not predicting or wishing, just indicating we have been struck in the past and we will be struck again by a monster it is only a question of when).
