This Little Salamander Is Losing Its Home




1:04
This little guy is a southern Appalachian salamander. Around seven inches long, these amphibians breathe entirely through their skin, which makes them sensitive to temperature and water quality. With average temperatures increasing yearly, their future has become murky.

Things won't stop changin' from their current direction for another 30 years beyond today.

Sorry little fella. Humans may have large brains, but when it comes to doing the right thing, we apparently don't want to believe the facts staring us in the face.

Here are two solutions:
1) Decrease World human populations. Solves issues big and small, because we're the common denominator in all problems. Yet our population is still increasing at a rate of 228,000 net humans per day.
2) Ban and remove all refrigeration. ANY AND ALL REFRIGERATION. No more cars with AC, no more homes, no more office buildings or hospitals with it. See how people go from being climate change deniers to carbon sequestering champions.
