Every day we fail to act voluntarily hastens an autocratic regime that will use force.

(if that terminology is in any way applicable) - are almost certainly going to be viruses and single celled organisms.

A handful of orcas going rogue in the Mediterranean ... Means - - essentially nothing.

And often have some meaning.

Scientists try to figure out what that meaning might be.

was that 'other species' would turn to targeting humans. And - it requires a further leap to infer a degree of deliberation and motivation against said target - on the basis of understanding the stresses and causation of 'climate change'

I'll await any kind of evidence for such behavior.
(by any species - - excepting of course, homo sapiens).

We don't have data to support them.

But it would make an interesting hypothesis to support or refute.

It is called science.

A scientist notices something unusual, develops hypotheses and tests them.

Yes you are correct. We have to wait for the data.

What we do know is that when a species is stressed for whatever reason, they tend to
get more aggressive. Also Darwin tells us species will fight for survival.

So we can use those theories to help us make some hypotheses.

(and situational, i.e. population overlap) attacks and/or conflict. In fact we are probably already seeing such today. (with mountain lion attacks being a prime example) (and unusual behavior in certain orca pods - possibly amounting to another)

That is still a very, very large jump from conflating 'stress behaviors' - to 'some species fighting back', in the sense of targeting humans for conflict/attack. (and particularly in any sort of motivational, or purpose based aggression)

As species become more stressed with climate change, weather changes, lack of typical food supply,
migration, encroachment of others into food supply territory, there is going to be more aggressive behavior.

It is plausible other species will be seen as a threat for reduced resources needed for survival.
Threats are usually attacked.

Not much of a leap at all.

stress related behaviors (and possible aggression) while entirely predictable will almost certainly be directed against either 1) visible competition for resources (which already occurs), or 2) random aggression without identifiable motivation. But, in neither of those instances is there any motivational or directional attacks - pointing in a purposeful deliberate manner toward homo sapiens. Or, in common parlance, as you put it, "fighting back."

I'll say it again - by far the most likely candidates for 'fighting back' against the human population - are going to be viruses and single celled organisms. And they don't have the foggiest idea (nor care) what they are doing - just reacting to an available food source. But they (and of course the ubiquitous mankind itself) are the only realistic and/or meaningful 'opposition' we will see against the sapiens species. And, unless I missed the thread entirely, that's is pretty much what you meant in the post about 'species fighting back'.

EDIT: I'm going to try again here (in the spirit of comity and understanding) Are you envisioning something like a starving polar bear being marginally, and ever so slightly, more of a danger nearby human beings? Which I grant as a possibility - but hardly seems to merit mention insofar as striking a blow against the cancer of human population.

idk.

….Fomenting wars to distract us.

I’d say “God forgive us,” but somehow I don’t think the Earth Goddess actually will.

The mind boggles.

and, if need be, she will once again, with or without us.

Fevers can kill. Is it Mother Earth's way of ridding herself of this most destructive organism in order to save life on earth?

We cannot know, of course. Just speculating here.

And if's literally true, well, I'll probably be ok - I'm such a minute speck, to her, that I doubt she even notices my babblings.

Whether Mother Earth/Gaia is conscious or not, the effect will be the same. (I rather expect that she IS conscious.)
