Althouse: The first alleged victim of global warming.

If you go to the Fox article then Google the actual name - "lemuroid ringtail possum" you find that the SPECIES is in a near-threatened category (meaning not anywhere near endangered). The white variety is not a separate species, just a different variety with a with coat genetically passed on. Sort of like saying the German cockroaches found in China with spots on them may die off, but the trillion other cockroaches of the same species go on. Neither humans nor cockroaches would ever miss a subpopulation of the species.

1. Why did the people behind this scare story fail to mention this very important fact?

2. Why would CO2 kill off the ones with white fur but spare the ones with darker fur?

Lemuroid Ringtail Possum

* The Lemuroid Ringtail Possums tend to stay in rainforests above 900 metres.
* When spotlighting, densities of 2 to 5 per hour are common but up to 10 per hour have been recorded at altitudes of 900-1200m.
