“human-caused climate change”
Wow, did I do that ? Did one of you guys do it ? Who did this ?
It must be someone out there who did this. Because I didn’t do it, and I don’t think you guys did it. But they say that humans did this.
So which humans are they talking about ? Who killed this mouse ?
The Holocaust was caused by humans. We know which ones too. doesn’t seem to stop us from growing new socialists.
What “rising sea levels?”
Been to Atlantic City or Virginia Beach at various times in the last 80 years? The ocean is in exactly the same place relative to older buildings as it was 80 years ago.
You can look at the photographic evidence.
Erosion of shorelines by storms and volume capacity changes of smaller bays and rivers (silt accumulation, shifts in bottom layouts) does not equate to AGW. Or even GW.
Those stupid “mouse-like rodents”. I prefer to feed all those non mouse-like rodents to my rodent-eating pet.
They had 13 years and did nothing. This is becoming the liberal mantra. Do nothing and when it is too late blame someone else.
They should have their funding pulled for gross incompetence.
It's all a part of the circle of life. Extinction happens. It's a natural phenomenon. Besides, it was a rat.
Srsly. I bet the tissue samples are “lost” because DNA would prove they are simply the decedents of rats escaped or tossed from ships.
They didn’t go extinct. Slartibartfast picked them up so they could have another go at Norway. Oh, the fjords!
I can’t wait to see all the Facebook memes bemoaning this horrible event to make us believe in global warming was caused by humans...
I’m not worried that the end of the world is coming. I don’t listen to liberal chicken littles.
Adapt or die.
Here is the question, what could puny little Man have done to prevent this?
Man can’t change the Climate (there’s the rub) or lower the Oceans, so the only thing that could have been done to save the Rats is to build a massive Sea Wall surrounding the Island.
Man is the only species on Earth capable of doing that.
“Nearly a million years” and in all that time there was NEVER a storm big enough to flood an island so very tiny? My ass.
When I was in school many years ago, we were taught that species go extinct all the time. Now we will find out that all extinctions from this point on will be due to man-made global warming.
They couldn't get the $$$$$$$$$
I suspect they have the genetic material of this “lost” animal.
I’ve read some rather detailed descriptions of how they plan to bring back the woolly mammoth, and it involves using DNA and a host carrier.
We are on the verge of being able to do this sort of thing, so these animals should not be lost forever, that is if they really cared about them as much as they act like they did.
As for global warming, these folks are nimrods of the highest order.
Could be the birds ate them. Or the turtles. Best save the birds and turtles now since their food source is gone.
more fear-mongering environmentalist propaganda masquerading as scientific fact.
** yawns **
A rat! A friggin’rat! good grief...
The biggest tragedy I see here is that it wasn’t the Norwegian brown rat that went extinct.
somebody should take that silly phony photo of a polar bear clinging to the tiniest tip of an iceberg and photoshop this mouse in its place...
...and then send it to Al Gore to watch his head explode.
Grant Money Gone....
