Rain Forrests, Global Warming, Auto Companies, and the Economy"

[bomelia]

Quote from Fox news article on some dumb opossum: Scientists say a white possum native to the Daintree rainforest in the Australian state of Queensland has become the first mammal to become extinct due to man-made global warming.

The Brisbane, Queensland, Courier-Mail reports the white variety of the lemuroid ringtail possum, found only above 3,000 feet in the mountain forests of far north Queensland, has not been seen for three years.

Experts fear climate change is to blame for the disappearance of the highly vulnerable strain thanks to a temperature rise of up to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Researchers will mount a last-ditch expedition early next year deep into the untouched "cloud forests" of the Carbine Range near Mt. Lewis, three hours north of the city of Cairns, in search of the tiny tree-dweller, dubbed the "Dodo of the Daintree."

Since when did it become the role of Man to save everything? The liberals out there must be reading the bible on Noah and taking it seriously (too seriously if you ask me). If a friggin opossum cannot stand a 1.5 degree rise in temperature, well then, get out of the kitchen! The Earth has gone through many warming and cooling periods during its existence. Many animals and plants have gone extinct without our influence. Companies go out of business every day! Why is it someone's role (Man) to stop the bad stuff from happening? All of this crap is going to drive all of us into eternal bankruptcy.

Wackoism has its costs too.

Somethings cannot (nor should not) be saved. What should be saved? The guiding principles that brought the USA into existence. Start again with that and all will be fine.
