Uh, try again. It's called spreading population encroaching on formerly wild territory.
And as far as "climate change", you are aware that wine and citrus was growing in southern England as late as the 14th Century, are you not?
Back in the late 1950's I had to write a paper and have something to show for a science class.
Dad came up with an interesting suggestion. For 22 years he had been a hard hat rescue diver stationed aboard ASR's and Some I remember had the names of birds, Chanticleer, Sunbird etc.
All his carear he was fascinated with the coral reefs off Key West, way before, and after I was born he was stationed In Panama to clean up and salvage stuff from the war.
This man was fascinated with coral, loved the stuff and had a huge collection going back to 1938 and his first few dives. He was in the 2 nd. class to graduate from the brand new diving tank in Rotten Groten Conn. I know that has been moved to Fla, but it was a must for divers and Sub Sailors to have that experience until about 15 years ago.
He at the end of his carear began to notice odd changes in some coral, he put it down to the way spent waste from nuclear plants was disposed of at that time. The waste was packed in metal drums then in cased in cement. These were taken out so far by navy ships and dumped off the fan tail.
When I presented my ideas that Dad helped me with and exhibits of the small beginnings of changes in the coral, the school refused to except my project as being too controversial
10 years later on dad as a pleasure diver went back to his old haunts off Key West and drove us all nuts as he could not believe what he was seeing. He did an abrupt turn and began looking at what else could be causing all the severe changes. He never settled on any one explanation sort of an mixture between climate change and pollution from natural causes and man made.
At one point he stood on his front yard in Southern Maine and told me that perhaps in the life time of my great grand children they would be able to plant orange trees in that area.
Dad believed in natural change, man made change, and some changes made by accident in the Cosmos.
Hapens, the climate changes, volcano's erupt and spray so much in the atmosphere that the dark ages can ensue for a few years in places we would never expect.
Crap happens and at this time of living on planet earth, we better know as much about how to change ourselves to accommodate us, ADAPT OR DIE.
