It seems to me...the minute you dig up any dino bones in the Arctic...then this entire “save-the-carbon-save-the-arctic” argument goes down the tubes.
One of the interesting things about human beings...is that we adapted. We moved...we sustained ourselves....we found reasons to change...we migrated...we were willing to be different. As I gaze at environmentalists...I see the least changeable group of humans in existence today.
Even if the Earth does get warmer (which I don't think will happen), what it will mainly mean is that vast stretches of Canada and Siberia now become more habitable.
Nicely put.
