Stories in the New York Times in the back of the paper are warnings of our earth in deep trouble. While Putin is sending troops into Ukraine and some Republican members of congress think the Democrats are part of a nationwide pedophile ring, we need to pay attention.
20 percent of the world’s reptiles are poised for extinction. That ranges from snakes to lizards. Of course, if reptiles are in trouble, so are animals and birds that live in the same habitats. That story was in the April 28 issue on page A9 and the title was “From Tiny Geckos to King Cobras, 20% of Reptiles Face Extinction Risk.” I’m pretty sure neither Putin nor Trump would see any problem with that, but I hope you do.
Then today’s paper had this headline: “9.3 Million Acres of Old Tropical Forests Lost.” That is a lot of carbon dioxide moving into the atmosphere. Brazil, Congo, and Bolivia led the way. That one was on page A-8.
I get so depressed at the stupidity of the human species. We’re the ones with the biggest brains, but we certainly aren’t using them.
