The human not only weren't around to hunt them, but weren't around to be blamed for the climate change either...

Some are very unhappy, that they can't blame it all on humans.

It's being rejected because there is no reference to Bush, SUVs or the Kyoto treaty.

"The human not only weren't around to hunt them, but weren't around to be blamed for the climate change either... "

I believe that humans were in the Americas at that time...I've never thought they caused these extinctions.

If there is a consensus that hunting did them in then there is no need for anymore government grants to academia to study the problem. But ... if the consensus is that it was climate change that did them in then there will be a need for many more government grants to universities to study the problem, its effects, consequences for future species, ways to mitigate the problem currently, etc.

Follow the money.

Thousands of years before white and Indian hunters drove the buffalo of America's Great Plains to virtual extinction...
Ok here's the first mistake...It wasn't the Indians who did this it was the white hunters who shot buffalo for the hide, not the meat. Indains had a very spiritual relationship with the buffalo. They only took what they needed.
