All is lost. To late. Nothing left but discussion. Animals adapt or disappear...natural selection... You mean like passenger pigeons? CWM "The Passenger Pigeon is now extinct. Over hunting, the clearing of forests to make way for agriculture, and perhaps other factors doomed the species. The decline was well under way by the 1850’s." The last passenger pigeon in the wild was shot in 1899...I suppose you want to blame global warming for that? That was a period of time when indiscriminate hunting practices rulled the day ala Teddy Toosevelt and the Mighty White Hunter syndrome..and just what would have been your solution in 1850 regarding your need to clear forests for fields to feed your family or whether some pigeons lost their homes? Passenger pigeons were very similar to mourning doves yet the mournig dove population is alive and well and in some areas is so prolific that hunting has once again been allowed (which I do not agree with). Peregrine falcons are an example of a bird that, with man's help, has learned to adapt to new environments. Instead of roosting and nesting in mountains and high trees, they are now comfortable nesting in high rises and on bridge structures...we have a pair that live son top of the Hames River Bridge that had a nestful of babies this past season. Other animals have adjusted on their own. Most cities report indicences of deer populations within city limits and in the suburbs. Other wild animals, like coyotes, possums. skunks, and raccoons have no prtoblem living side by side with man. For that matter, the big vats, mountain lions, lynx and bobcat, have no problems living with man. It's man who complains because they act like cats and hunt. Bears are moving down the lower penninsula in Michigan and every year the reports are of bears further south. These are all examples of anumals that are adjusting. Problem is, many don't want the animals to adjust...they cart them back to the wilderness where their population can't be sustained by the food supply. The natural inclination when a fgood supply dries up is to move..but man won't let them move. So why isn't more being done by urban planners to accomodate wildlife? The same reason the BLM goes in a slaighters hundreds upon hundreds of wild horses every eyar. THey use up resources man wants. So my take on this whole thing is if global warming is a reality, let it happen. Man will not adapt. He would counter the heat by building more and better AC units, etc to take care of his comforts...he will move further and further away from the equator where the rain forests will then start to repopulate temselves. THose that can't afford to move will die. Maybe the few that survive and are still able to reproduce can start all over again with the knowledge of what to do tight the next chance. Or maybe we'll just disappear like the passenger pigeon and our edifices will become a habitat and breeding fround for whatever takes over. I love wilrdlife. I believe in conservation. I do believe that man is responsible for the extinction of animals to serve his own selfish needs. But there comes a time, in the survival of the fittest, when one species becomes dominant and takes over. Usually what happens in nature is that that species eules for awhile and then dies away. Maybe it's our turn to die away. |

JG" said: Global environmental change for the worse is happening because human beings are so shortsighted as to ignore their own long-term best interests. Thus endeth the reading of the gospel according to Jon. Max, it's an article of faith with these folks. Challenging their gospel is like urging that the Bible is not divinely inspired--you'll never get that concession from the ultra-devout. Those running the global warming show are in it for the money and power. And they depend upon dupes like Jon to buy into their spiel. Fortunately for them there are plenty like Jon around to fund their chosen lifestyles. Max I already said that... How am I "funding" my lifestyle by my willingness to make a few sacrifices for the greater good? Funding *their* lifestyle--that of the leaders of organizations dependent upon your devotion and your donations. Max He thinks Hil and Bill live in a shack and drive a Yugo becasue of their great altruism... Guess you didn't hear Bill say that he didn't need yet another tax break. I don't hear Cheney saying that. How generous of him...he's probably maxed out... Or, god forbid, he's actually being honest unlike Cheney who wasn't born with that ability. U'm not a particular fan of either GW or Cheney so it doens't make any difference to me...or for that matter, Bill Clinton..I'm gonna jump on the Ralph Nader bandwagon... |
