As God is my witness, my first thought on reading the title was that whatever the old thing was, it was being killed by glo-bull warming. I just knew that would be what this was about.
Plus a range of between 12,000 and 200,000? Darn nice of you to narrow it down so much there!

We should declare it a protected species and build an undersea 30’ concrete berm around it.
It’s a weed for cryin’ out loud!
Let it evolve or die.

I would have bet the farm that the first picture up would have been Helen Thomas.

Scientists say a patch of ancient seagrass in the Mediterranean... ...could be the oldest known living thing on Earth. So then, Helen Thomas has died?

At 200,000 years, the thing would have gone through long periods of bigger warming, and very cold periods. Yet, in a period of relatively cool weather, those people would have us believe that, they can’t take it anymore?
The global warming crowd is getting more pathetic and more desperate each day.

It's over 12,000 years old, possibly over 125,000 years old, and today's temperatures are killing it. Interesting theory. It's very weak on scientific plausibility, but interesting that anyone would pretend to believe it.

200,000 years old? How can that be when it’s only 2012????

" ... say it is one of the world's most resilient organisms - but it has now begun to decline due to global warming." Of course there's always that evil man-made global warming terrorizing this pristine "resilient organism."
