It is one of the great sorrows of our civilization that the role of global warming in the amphibian extinctions is inevitably so politicized.  The older hypothesis, that the spread and virulence of the chytrid fungus are related to global warming, will now look like part of the scientists' alleged conspiracy to "overpresent" the dangers associated with global warming.  But in response, do we really need to resort to that incendiary image by the Australian scientist, at the end, about pouring gasoline in a house and dropping a lit match?

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

Yet, you completely ignore the enormous success of Global Warming when measured by the large numbers of humans that it supports.

Since 1820, the human population has expanded fivefold.

The increased warmth has decreased disease.

There are better crop yields.

Energy needs are lessened.

Overall Global Warming is a stunning success.

I say, if the Earth ain't broke, don't fix it.

Humans were already grossly overpopulated by 1820, so increased population and crop yields were not a good thing.  The population increase that occurred from that time has been an absolute disaster for the entire rest of the planet, and hasn't really been good for most humans either.

And BTW, the claim about energy use is patently false.  Global warming will cause more use of air conditioning, which will not only increase energy use but will also add pollutants to the air and atmosphere.

Where in the heck did ya get that idea?

Now if someone will please answer the honey bee problem.
