A white possum found in the Daintree rainforest of Australia’s Queensland has been determined to be the first mammal to have become extinct thanks to global warming, according to a Fox News report. Is it me, or is there something going on in the world of climate change to force all of these “global warming causes” articles to pop up so suddenly and in such a short period of time? Or do I need to go back into Operation Desperation reporting mode again?

What is this? Third time today that global warming has done something wrong? Anyway, phytoplankton in the Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island is in decline after having several population booms over the last few decades. Global warming is partially to blame, according to the article, because the warmer waters have caused them to bloom throughout the year, instead of only in the winter and spring. And it’s affecting bottom-feeding fish. They think.

An injunction against the United States Navy prohibiting certain types of exercises in the Pacific Ocean originally handed down by the Ninth Circuit Court has been overturned by the United States Supreme Court. Originally the exercises were working out well and going smoothly until several environmentalist groups filed suit, claiming that sonar used in the exercises may hurt whale and dolphin populations.

Giant panda bears are threatened thanks to global warming. Well, the actual bears aren’t being threatened but their food supply is. Scientists think. Or not. Giant panda bears’ primary food is bamboo. Lots of it. And climate change is threatening to redistribute plants, like bamboo. And while this may be a concern, scientists also found that global warming increases some bamboo types. The moral of this story? Nobody really knows anything yet.

A 12 foot Burmese python snake was found in Florida and it’s suspected that it was someone’s pet but was freed into the wild as it’s not a native species to the area.  However, local officials say global warming could allow for such constrictors to spread further north as warming temperatures make for a habitable environment north of Florida, which will exacerbate the problem.  Well, unless owners of Burmese pythons keep their pets properly caged.  The snake?  It was captured and taken to a sanctuary in nearby Jupiter, Florida.  The …

Now it seems that barrier reefs, and specifically the Great Barrier Reef, won’t vanish afterall thanks to global warming. Scientists, like Dr. Andrew Baird, are expecting reefs to adapt to climate change rather than disappear.

Swans expected to return to the U.K. last week are staying put in Siberia where global warming has made it a warm haven, according to this article from Bob’s Bites. About 300 swans were due to return to Britain’s Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Centre on October 21 but the unusually warm Arctic weather is so warm that they’ve decided to say. The swans have been late by several days in the past but never more than a week. A Slimbridge spokesman said it’s being blamed on climate …

Simon over at Australian Climate Madness has dug up an update on the frogs-dying-from-global-warming-hoax. It seems that disease is killing off frogs and not global warming as originally suspected. I wonder how many other things “caused” by global are, in reality, have natural causes?

Having the face of global warming be represented by soft and cuddly polar bears isn’t good enough.  Penguins have been added to the list as endangered birds whose population - from one-half to three-quarters - face decline or extinction due to global warming if the global temperature jumps two degrees Celsius.  The WWF bodyslammed a lack of agreement among nations to fight climate change and urged that a new deal be reached to succeed the Kyoto Protocol to help save the penguins.  From the article:
While the global average temperature rise …

According to this post over at MaxRedline, termites produce more harmful methane than livestock. With the global warming alarmists’ concerns over methane bubbles rising from the melting polar caps and the gas being released from livestock, where is the outrage over the little insect that devours wood and passes more gas than my Uncle Joe? Also in the post, kangaroo meat is the most environmentally-friendly as roos pass less methane gas than the rest of the livestock on the planet.
