World over population is a big part of it. Go to the following website. Numerous countries have tripled in population in 50 years. Africa is a mess and children are born into a lifetime of extreme poverty. The almost worldwide population of 8 billion all want cars, refrigerators and air conditioning. All large consumers of energy. We need birth control, education etc.

There are no bugs for Chicken Little to snack on....the sky really is falling. Compared to 10 years ago, we have pretty much won this argument. Oh, there are a few holdouts, but the scientists have convinced the vast majority. I am grateful for them every day.

Winning the science battle won't win the war. I love Thom's ideas. The "climate kids", education, and the internet are the key solutions.

Thank you for this. I appreciate the insights and agree with them. Just a note, though that wildlife trafficking is the world's fourth largest illegal trade - not its fourth largest trade in total.
