Global warming could render some species homeless

"When temperatures rise, plants and animals that need a cooler environment move to new regions. The land is warming about three times faster than the ocean so you might simply expect species to move three times faster on land, but that's not the case," Burrows explained.

"If the land temperature becomes too hot for some species, they can move to higher ground where temperatures are generally cooler. That's not an option for many marine species which live at, or near, the surface of the ocean," he was quoted as saying in a Scottish Association statement.

Rush Limbaugh: Global Warming is a Hoax, an Attempt to 'Codify Liberalism as Science' - International Business Times

During his afternoon radio talk show, Limbaugh said Friday  that ideology is at the root of the global warming discussion:

"One of the things that the left attempts to do is to codify elements of their ideology as 'science.'  That is what global warming is all about -- and many other things as well. Codify liberalism as science, therefore making it irrefutable, making it inarguable -- and, of course, they failed. Everybody knows that it's a hoax," said Limbaugh.

The philosopher Bertrand Russell, also a Nobel laureate, pointed out many years ago: "If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence."

This "confirmation bias" is a problem that we all face, but especially those who worship global warming.
