Let me tell you about endangered species, all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. It’s arrogant meddling; it’s what got us in trouble in the first place. Doesn’t anybody understand that? Interfering with nature. Over 90%—over, way over 90% of all the species that have ever lived on this planet—ever lived—are gone! They’re extinct! We didn’t kill them all; they just disappeared. That’s what nature does. They disappear these days at the rate of 25 a day; and I mean regardless of our behavior. Irrespective of how we act on this planet, 25 species that were here today will be gone tomorrow. Let them go gracefully. Leave nature alone. Haven’t we done enough? …

I sometimes wonder what Carlin would say about the 2020 debacles.

all but a few polar bear populations will collapse by 2100, the study found.

I provided the data for this study. After downing half a
bottle of Wild Turkey, I, together with 500 monkeys, began
typing this very serious study on Arctic Faerie Shrimp.

Somehow, in the haze of 100 proof fumes, we typed in polar bears instead of the shrimp. Sorry, my bad.. /sarc

They should just move south and become brown like humans do.

And for a more informed opinion from an actual polar bear researcher, Susan Crockford:

“This beautiful, full color summary explains in simple terms why polar bears are thriving despite the recent loss of Arctic sea ice. It’s written in a question and answer format, in language that readers of all ages can understand (age 7 and up). The book takes a sensible, big-picture approach that many readers will appreciate and is based on the most up-to-date information available.”

Note: One needs to have the innate intelligence of a 7 year old which may make it difficult for some climate change advocates to understand.
