The Pika population around Lake Tahoe, California, has vanished, following similar die-offs in Utah and Nevada over the past decade.
But, no, of course it’s not climate change, no matter what all those scientists say. I mean, what do they know? They probably just want more grant money. No, it’s almost certainly a conspiracy — maybe those Chinese, sneaking into national parks and stealing all our pikas, then making up stories about “climate change”. Crafty bastards. Maybe Trump will talk to them about that on his Asia tour, and show them who’s boss.
Sigh.

One would have to be living in a cave or totally stupid to not see that Global warming an climate change is a sad reality. We were warned but the big idiots just ignored it an now we are paying for it. Every day is Earth Day
Dang. I hope the Medicine Bow population is OK.
Bigger than hamster though – more like a guinea pig.
Greed.
It's not global warming, it's just hotter than usual, most of the time, in most places.

+Jean-Baptiste Quéru It is much worse than what. I have been around a long time and never seen so much destruction caused by nature an us. Watch my environmental videos. Trump an his cohorts are living in a fantasy land. Guess he might wake up when his towers are flooding
+Randy R Trump, I believe, doesn't care about anything beyond his lifetime. Which, from an actuarial basis, won't be more than another decade or two, tops, so he really isn't going to worry about it.
+Dave Hill We are repeating the nightmare years of Rambo Reagan. Despite that I will keep campaigning for change an trying to make things better. The youngsters might want to have a planet to live on
Mountains species are canaries in the mine of global warming. The summit of a mountain is a natural dead end for a mountain species under global warming. and if mountain populations disappear this way… that's the most binding evidence one can ask for, of global warming. Global warming as measured by "the skeleton of the ecosystem": natural populations.
Ask the 14 states an other countries who are going through a disaster if global warming is real. This will be the costliest year in history
