Thanks to WUWT, for his Story on “Now its global warming killing Pikas“, obviously the Pikas (some kind of American rat/rabbit) isn’t the story, so much as the almost complete absence lately of these “global warming could … kill the … <name some species whose numbers just happened to have declined> because of <name some speculative link with temperature>”.
Somehow, even if the global warming could story is a bit of a Dodo in evolutionary terms and even if we know that it’s going the same way as the Dodo, somehow, despite the ridiculousness of the species, it does add colour to our lives. So it’s nice to see that at least one endangered species hasn’t quite yet fallen off its perch (which in the case of the Dodo was obviously the ground).
