Each extinction was followed by a re-colonisation of genetically different lemmings, according to the study.

Almost like roaches.

“Geneticly different type of Lemmings”, describes Liberal Voters to a tee!

Gee, I bet no species were wiped out when the gigantic two mile high ice sheet raced down the north american continent as far as Illinois. (snicker)

This is problematic, because there is a modern case, of two years, back to back, that caused extensive change, and all because of the jet stream over North America.

The first of the two years, the jet stream stayed unusually South for the duration of winter, resulting in cold temperatures dragged south from the north pole into the United States. In Oh Canada, however, temperatures were very temperate, much warmer than normal. This in turn resulted in a lot more greenery and a lot more lemmings, and in turn, a population explosion of lemming predators, specifically the Snowy Owl.

The next year, the jet stream went north and stayed there. This meant temperate temperatures in the US, but up in Oh Canada, they were buried in snow and very cold temperatures.

This resulted in a scant year for lemmings, but the Snowy Owls went south in great numbers, to parts of the US where they are seldom seen.

Was a scientist to look at just these two years, they might assume a very large and healthy lemming population, which was wiped out in a snap ice age.

Must have been all those fossil fuels the lemmings were burning.

have they redefined the word “extinct” and not told me?
