Nobody wants to address the root of the problem, which is human overpopulation. Look at Southern India, where overpopulation destroyed the most vital biome on the planet in less than a century. Look at the rolling environmental disaster that is China. Yes, all those people are desperate losers, but loserdom is expanding rapidly into Africa, SE Asia, and Central America. Things will go along OK until there is a major disruption in the system. Global warming is a serious stressor on the system, but it is far from the only one, or even the major one. The major stressor in the system is a constantly and rapidly growing human population.

Eventually the system will collapse. People alive today will probably live to see it.

I'm trying to picture Australia with flesh-eating kangaroos. That would be like living in Pennsylvania with carnivorous deer.

FYI, that is termed an "ad hominem attack". Look it up in the dictionary if you don't know what it means.

Hopefully when they realize some things in this world cannot be bought, they will wake up. So what is needed is information.

I don't see why folks would deny we need to take care of the earth....but old ideas: dominion over the earth need to fade away.

This story was bound to draw the frothing-at-the-mouth deniers of science. One wonders if they keep extra exclamation point keys handy, to replace the ones that keep wearing out on their keyboards?

Of course, considering how many of them loathe and despise the great unifiying theory of all of biology - evolution - it is no surprise that they rabidly deny this story of a biological nature as well.

Hell, even the current pope believes in taking care of the earth, what more is needed????

I have been in an extremely conservative church (roll on the floor Pentecostals.) where the disappearing honey bees are brought up...

This has been talked about LONG before global warming became a matter of public discussion. You would have to be a total idiot not to believe that humans as a species aren't causing mass extinctions.

When a plant or animal species has a very limited geographic range, and their habitat is destroyed through human activites do you think they go into some kind of pocket dimension?

Unfortunately, there's also a lot of fundamentalists who think how they treat the environment doesn't matter because God's gonna give them a whole new Earth to live on.
