Future fossil fuel source?
“However, they note there are fewer lizards detected in areas where there are more oil and gas wells or areas where habitat has been disturbed.”
Well duh. And so what? It just means they stay away. If there’s so few of them then they’re not in danger because of a small area used by oil wells. There’s plenty of other space for them to occupy.
This is a problem that can be solved by concerned citizens. Put some of these wetbacks to work by giving them a per head bounty to kill the lizards and make them extinct.
They’ve done it before. Here in Washington state in tge Gifford Pinchot national forest.
They found traces of some rare wolverine or some other varmint. Turned out a do gooder “salted” the area to halt logging.
Screw the lizard.
Let it go extinct.
America needs the oil more than a stupid lizard.
If the dunes sagebrush lizard can adapt so handily to extreme environments, then there's no reason it can't adapt to a few oil and gas rigs on its turf?
Our rare, endangered farmers are being told they MUST accept CO2 pipelines across their to save the earth. But who cares about humans? They aren't scaly, beady-eyed and and cold blooded.
Of course they did.
Babies still not on that list.
The new spotted owl?
Funny how these weenies know just where to look every time.
This is the same one that they tried to shut down the area around Andrews, Texas over years ago. They never give up.
The amount of ground NOT impacted for habitat is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! If oil and gas wells are a problem they just need to depopulate the whole area because roads and people are more impactful than oil and gas activities.
They can’t count them but they can say there are not as many to count in areas of oil and gas activity. Makes perfect sense to me. /s
right.
On the Mesa gas field near Pinedale Wy we had to be off the field by the first of November...because they said it would disrupt the migration of the antelope...which were running around every where.
On the Jonah field there were areas that we had to be off of because the prairie chickens were mating...I never saw one there but they were scattered around in the areas we moved to.
The point is the lizard moves and it thrives even with the traffic
“Another win for China, Russia, Iran and Venezuela.”
So Biden’s people claim to be FIGHTING those countries (or at least want to be fighting them), on the one hand, and then ENRICHING RUSSIA, Iran, and Venezuela, on the other hand.
Oh, goody. An excuse to further destroy the oil industry.
Are those lizards tasty, BTW?
For one class, the lecturers (both successful environmental attorneys) took no small amount of pride in describing a frequently used technique in which environmental activists would place rare species in areas of potential development, only to be "found" and thus assist in denial of permit applications.
Most of my fellow classmates roared in approval of the deceit.
Pure b.s.
You would be aghast at how many GS-15 lizard pimps are already on the payroll!
My cat killed one./s
