Back in the day we used to play with the tamer dinosaurs. As a kid my mom wouldn’t let me near the T-rex lairs. Only one of my friends actually got eaten.

But it’s much safer now. :-D

And all the sheeple lap it up. What do most east coasters know about a chinook salmon other than they’re supposed to have a knee jerk reaction to man’s impact on ‘nature’.

And so we should seek out new kinds of stories — stories that make us more alarmed about our conventional energy sources than the alternatives

Didn't even CONSIDER writing stories that tell the truth, did you?

Climate change is everything, a story and a calamity bigger than any other.

I agree. It's a calamity and the biggest lie ever told.

If you search for this author, you will find that she is not a scientist. This article is about an imaginary situation which is not real. The earth is 4.6 billion years old. No one remembers how things really used to be. This is just plain silly.

Doesn’t the NYT believe in evolution? Don’t they believe that something will evolve to take the place of defunct species?

Can see the religious apocalyptic aspects of these liberal true believing cultists in this. (Climate change is EVERYTHING!).

And, I’m sure she’s a Darwinist Evolutionist but thinks like a static Creationist with respect to Darwinian theory That’s the irony.

Also, the convergence is clear - Hillary or whomever is the Dem nominee are running on this.

War on Women failed.

Dear NYT, it is called global warming. Climate change is called weather.

Check out the “writer’s” Wikipedia page. A real treat. (You’ll be pleased to know she is the source of the term “mansplaining”.)

I once met a guy from Africa that insisted flying dinosaurs still exist, said he had seen them and decades ago his father had given some remains to European scientists in the years after world War two

Werd.

All NY Times readers know about salmon is that it goes with cream cheese on their bagel while browsing the Sunday Style section.

“The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet.”

“I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don’t think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, ‘tomorrow could be too late, let’s do now what we need to do’.”

“I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.”

—Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005

Bin Laden blasts US for climate change

CAIRO – Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.

In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.
