Back in the ‘90s, we were told that hundreds of species were being “driven extinct” every year due to “deforestation.”

Rhetorical question: Who’s to blame for the millions of species that went extinct before humans arrived on the scene...?

I read this with extreme disgust.
Poor little rat. Poor little America. We need to get the rates in government to become extinct.

Uh.....ITS A RAT!!
They are NOT “extinct”!!!
“is almost certainly high tides and surging seawater,”
Notice they didn’t say “RISING”, because its NOT.
So, WHAT is the link to the nonexistent global warming?

Shouldn’t it have evolved in order to survive in its habitat?
Now we can tackle climate change and evolution in one post :)

Hmmmm. Is that a new title for the faux climate cat-tastrophe? HDCC? In place of AGW?

I read this article on the train this morning and was literally laughing out loud. Ever single member of this rat species lived together on an eroding, wave-slapped scrap of coral in the midst of the South Pacific! These goofy rats were officially the only animals living exclusively on the Great Barrier Reef, maybe because it's a tiny scrap of eroding coral in the middle of the ocean and mammals tend to drown in such situations.
Goodnight good rat sir. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Rats. I hate rats... and ‘rats, too.

Brought to you by the science illiterate low IQ leftists at the
NYT who actually believe that the earth has never been hotter.
And that we caused it.
And that we are doomed.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
The only way that rat became a “species” is because it’s ancestors (probably sewer rats from Liverpool) were traveling in a boat that crashed into the reef. The rats abandoned the sinking ship and managed to find a home on the reef. They are a human caused species.

” the first documented extinction of a mammal species due to human-caused climate change. “
Total BS
There is no such thing as “MAN MADE” global warming, sorry, climate change.
Extinctions are part of life. If man has anything to do with a species extinction, then so be it. Man is part of nature.
I have no problem though with trying to protect threatened species within reason (Bald Eagles). The Delta Smelt, for example, is not one of them. They may be a “specific” species, but we catch them (Smelt that is) by the five gallon buckets full here in NY. They look just like Delta Smelts and while having never eaten a “Delta Smelt”, I’d guess that I would be hard pressed to tell the difference in taste.
EVERYTHING needs to have a cost/benefit type of analysis.
Water for farmers to grow FOOD for humans and the nation.
vs protecting a fish of which there are BILLIONS (maybe Trillions) of it’s kind elsewhere.
There is just no rational reason to decide in favor of the Delta Smelt.

It's a rat ... probably deposited there when some ship ran aground back in the 1800’s.

Why aren’t they hailing this as another feather in the cap of Darwin and a celebration of evolution? It’s adapt and evolve or die.

Good. Then we don’t need it. Over 99.9% of all species that have ever inhabited this planet are extinct. Adapt or die.
