Save the Delta Smelt!

The Delta Smelt is an exotic that didn't make it, being snarfed altogether by another exotic: Striped Bass. There is a special place in hell for Peter Moyle, not to mention a cowardly sellout like Ken Gobalet.

I'm no ideological purist, but I do hold that it is wise to reconstruct "postage stamp" properties of native habitat upon which we can reassemble the genetics of what aboriginal people constructed over 10,000 years. Not only is it a matter of research, we might learn something valuable (and I already have). With these landscapes blowing up with increasing regularity, it is wise to develop fire resilient assemblages also building productive soils and forage. The greenies are not only not doing any of that, they're trying to stop anybody from the attempt. Hence, your propensity to lump me in with those destructive morons was contepmptable. I do disagree with your flippant attitude re exotics. There are some that are well tolerated, and many not. I'd rather see a bit more consciousness applied.

Now that is something I agree with.

Well if you'd like to actually learn a LOT, there's always the Wildergarten.org web site. There you will find writings not only presenting a unique and innovative record on ecological issues, but articles on the corrupt history of environmental regulation, most of which have been well received here on FR for over 20 years.

SNOW WILL ELIMINATE IT???

Don’t know.

It might ‘adapt’.

It survived the Ice Ages....................

And your point is?
Did you read the whole thread?
I’m no climate change nutcase.
Are you stupid or lazy?

“but the rate of differentiation will never match the rate of displacement.”

It eventually does, and has throughout earths history. It’s commonly referred to as “Adaptive Radiation”

A THEORY called “Adaptive Radiation,” and a lot can go very wrong for people well before then, especially when people wreck productive soils by taking out the post disturbance system of annual plants and their associated insect and microbial symbiotes.

For a mid Holocene and likely anthropogenic precedent, I give you "The Sahara Desert." The earth doesn't give a crap if it becomes a lifeless rock in space.

I was supporting your comment re climate change with recently published peer-reviewed literature.

You are welcome, darling.

Sorry, I was getting a little gun-shy from all the accusations of being a climate nazi.
