Having failed with polar bears, which have seen most populations thrive, Warmists now turn their sights to a possum
(SMH) A rare Australian possum is being dubbed the new polar bear of climate change.
Just four white lemuroid ringtail possums have been found in the wild and scientists say the species could soon become the first creature to be wiped out by global warming.
“I think this really should be a wake-up call,” tropical rainforests expert and James Cook University researcher Professor Bill Laurance told AAP.
“We’re arguing this is a better icon for global warming than a polar bear because it typifies the type of biodiversity we will lose in the future.”
This is essentially a recycled story from 5 years ago. Warmists never forget a good meme.
I have to wonder how they survived during the previous Holocene warm periods, several of which were much warmer than today. Of course, there is also a real problem for the lemuroids in the form of deforestation and selective logging, which, as usual, is ignored in favor of the global warming/climate change hysteria.
