Woodpecker farce continues

Excerpts from this article:
Biologists plan to tour the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge by helicopter next week, in the hopes that a view from the sky will give them a glimpse of the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker.

A 10-day tour is scheduled to start Monday in Monroe County.
...
The helicopter tour will include officials from Game and Fish, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Nature Conservancy and some volunteers from Cornell.
Don't these people realize that when rich Big Oil executives fly in helicopters, the resultant carbon dioxide emissions cause earthquakes in Greenland, make potatoes less nutritious, contribute to the extinction of bulldogs, etc?!
