Hold on, the link you posted says 10 to 100 times more than the natural background extinction rate. That's very far from "any of the previous mass extinctions in the history of the Earth.

    No, it says

    100 to 1,000 times higher than the background extinction rate

    both in the general intro and in the "Extinction rate" section, and

    10 to 100 times higher than in any of the previous mass extinctions in the history of Earth

    in the "Extinction rate" section (both verbatim quotes from its first sentence).
