How to push the warming scare. First, pick a loved icon and hold a gun to its head. The Great Barrier Reef, say, or …
KOALAS, already listed as vulnerable, are likely to die in greater numbers as they adapt to climate change, which will bring more intense bushfires, rising temperatures, increased drought and a drop in the nutrition levels of their food, a senior NSW Government scientist warns.
Fact: the world’s temperatures rose over the century to 1998 by 0.7 degrees and koalas actually thrived in areas not affected by land clearing, especially in colonies set aside for them in Victoria and South Australia, where overpopulation is now the problem. Indeed, if we really are worried about declining numbers of koalas, all we need do is stop population-control programs to sterilise them.
UPDATE
It’s global cooling that’s the real danger – that, and too much of the Arctic ice we were told was gone:
At least 200 narwhal whales in Canada’s Arctic, trapped by winter ice and facing starvation or suffocation, must be culled, officials say.
Save the whales! Warm the world!

Exactly 100% contrary to what some media outlets and commentators would have you believe, the Arctic ice is recovering at an unprecedented rate, and is thicker and more extensive now than it has been for a number of years. The Antarctic Ice Shelf is also thicker and more extensive than for the same time in recent years. This whole argument stands on just who you wish to believe.
