1. I see what you're doing there

Posting an article that tries to make the argument that global warming is a natural occurrence and the climate has warmed and cooled many times on it's own in the past. That's just a typical denier's ploy and it won't fly here, it's been tried before.

Nice try, thanks for playing.

2. Good eye, Night Crawler

welcome to DU :hi:
Glad to see you're on patrol. I read the headline and said to myself, sure. This species is struggling so hard now that it's bound to extinct by 2100. But you read the article. I think that Snoutport is ignorant rather than a denier. Education is the key to an informed electorate. Of course, that is why education is the battleground.

3. Hey! I was only thinking along the "we better get some started in pots to save the species

Total gut reaction... Joshua Tree is one of my favorite places on earth. I was just sad to see them taking such a beating.
