First species ever declared extinct because of climate change… has apparently been doing fine for the last 17 years and spokesnail Speedy McTwain says, “The reports of our extinction have been greatly exaggerated.”

  • If I remember right, I had a neighbor lady that had a small lily pond in her backyard and a huge flower garden. She would get upset about those lil snails being in her flower garden. I believe she claimed they destroyed the pollination of her flowers or something like that. Anyway, I don't think they are a darned bit extinct. A nuisance maybe but they havent disappeard because it's hot. Live in the Arizona desert during july-september you'll become extinct too. I'm extinct this very minute. I extincted right in front of an AC. Come and save me Al Gore, Bring me money too.

  • Wouldn't that be similar to my X-wife telling me she couldn't have children? Or obama promising all those jobs we keep hearing about?

    Right now our constitution and freedom are becoming extinct till we get that socialist zoo out of our WH.

  • The first species?

    Weren't there a couple of large lizards that went extinct due to climate change about 66 million years ago?

      • Of course. I call it reality-to-suit. Frame the criteria so specifically that a y argument becomes another subject, and presto! No one can ever prove you wrong!

  • Same bunch of idiots that profess to tell us what the climate will be in 50-100 years can't even figure this one out. Clueless.

  • How was it that 'Global' warming, and not local climate on this small atoll was blamed in the first place?
