Mitigate nature?Hotter seas threaten marine wildlife with extinction - researchers
View attachment 192305
LONDON, May 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Polar bears and other iconic animals could be extinct by the end of the century if ocean temperatures continue to rise at the current rate, marine biologists warned Monday.
So.
Why would they die in just a few generations? Fish and seals are there for food. Polar bears have been living in the San Diego zoo for decades, so warmth doesn’t harm them. The oceans are rising so that warmth is well hidden. So what’s going to kill them?
The absurdity of the chicken little left in their doomsday predictions is hilarious. They’ve been making this prediction for decades only to find their population increasing.

With all the hype and doom and gloom surrounding "predictions" such as this, the one thing people fail to recognize is this: more species of animals and life have gone extinct in the history of the earth than currently live on the planet.
Now, I don't want to see polar bears, or any other creature, become extinct, but it happens. It has always happened. It will always happen.
Should we do everything possible to mitigate such a thing? Yes.
No, our effect on whatever is causing the loss. Look, I firmly believe that most of what we see in regards to global warming, global climate change, or whatever they're calling it these days to fit their narrative, is cyclical. But I also believe that it foolish and ignorant for us to pretend that we don't, in some way, by our living have an effect, how ever small, on the environment. That being said, why not try to do better?
