Too late. The last one died in the 1840's.

I too agree that changes will come eventually. We are currently in an interglacial period of a 2 million year-old ice age. Where I draw the line is that man is making enough changes to the world to interrupt climate patterns that are dictated by the Sun’s own weather, the rhythms of Earth’s orbit, and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation which have monumental effects on our climate. Cow farts cannot overcome a decrease in the Sun’s output.

Nah, I grew up in the 70s. If we didn't all die from the next ice age, then cancer-caused-pollution was going to get us. Or Overpopulation, Nuclear War, Nuclear Winter, Starvation, Herpes, AIDS, Acid Rain, Cocaine/Crack/Heroin/pick-a-drug, etc etc etc ad infinitum.

Politicians and the Media always need a boogeyman to scare people with. Why? Because they don't get paid, if you don't need them.

[WMarshal]

I try to tell that to my kids but they are too young to have the long view yet.

Global cooling brings solid rain. It will crush everything.

[Reily]

or SUV farts or use of coal, oil & natural gas farts!
Agree!

[Dutch Boy]

No wonder the polar bears are starving.

[wbill]

Ooo Ooo! I forgot The Hole in the Ozone Layer, Smog Alerts, Medical Waste on our Beaches, Toxic Waste, Radioactive Waste, various Nuclear Reactor Meltdowns, Superfund sites, species extinctions, invasive species proliferations, Shark Attacks, Tylenol Poisonings, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, monsoons, droughts, 4 or 5 different world-ending flu epidemics, ebola, rabies, hantavirus, West Nile Virus, Mad Cow Disease, terrorism, mass shootings and riding bicycles without helmets.

It's a wonder that we all survived.

So lying is not a good tactic after all. Most of us learned that from our parents.

OMG!!! The polar bear may be “adapting”...

Seems the secular humanist climate alarmists don’t really believe in their own belief that LIFE writ large has survived and evolved by adapting to change. Instead their alarms plot the demise of life on earth.

And who now has rhe most ability to adpat? Humans; through the use of science and technology to adapt to and mitigate effects of “climate change”.

[dirtymac]

Alar, your forgot Alar. You remember the agent to prevent sliced apples from oxidizing? It was going to kill the nation. So far nothing the left has predicted as the “sky is falling” has come true. Shows you haw truly dumb college aged ‘children’ really are.

"According to UN scientific assessments, the polar bear does not face extinction, and the common understanding that it does now stands in the way of more nuanced communication about climate change in the Arctic. "
