Regrettably, no environmental change would lead to the extinction of environmentalists. He who said that the cockroaches are the most resilient species, was wrong.
I thought it was supposed to be 100%, right, Al?
Which begs the question: are environmentalist cockroaches?
The natural global warming cycle benefit many species - humans being just one of them. Do the Ecophobes think that species would fair better in an ice age?
"The authors acknowledge, however, that they do not fully understand why so many species persisted during these ice ages"
I guess they never learned the meaning of "adaptation".
Evolution is the constant changing of species to adapt to changing environment. The world will survive climate changes, just as things tomorrow will always be different than yesterday.
Global warming alarmists are worried about preserving things as they are today, when tomorrow could always be better depending on who is on top of their game.
Maybe they should work on improving the models used for global warming, first. Then, maybe they wouldn't have to look for reasons that their models didn't work. I have to wonder if these are real scientists, or are they feminist scientists who believe that science is just another metanarrative to be deconstructed and reconstructed at will.
What idiots! There is no conundrum, creatures migrate on an annual basis to avoid unpleasant weather conditions. Did these fools think that creatures wouldn't adapt or move as things warmed up over tens or hundreds of years?
Golly gee!
And don't forget, the Associated Press tells us that 218 people have been killed on the nation's highways, the National Safety Council expects a total of 500...YOU'RE NOT TRYING FRIENDS!!!
I just love computer models. ;')
Computer Model for ya...

For their analysis, the authors reviewed not only published studies but also some new sets of data that they had compiled from field observations in a number of coastal locations of such invertebrate species as sea urchins, sea anemones and snails. They found that most of the studies showed that patterns of abundance were affected by a complex interplay of environmental, physical, biological, genetic and geographical factors that the abundant-center hypothesis failed to take into account.
sea urchins, sea anemones and snails most affected...when food is scarce, even an invertebrate moves elsewhere...I think it's called adaptation.
Imagine the ease with which a sea star could carry home some take-out food...

they have been munching their way through the beautiful coral on the Great Barrier Reef, the little varmints!
We hit a reef. Huge son-of-a-bitch. Ran the whole coast.
- Great Barrier Reef?
- You heard of it? Smart lady.
who's the flotsam with beeds in it's hair?
