But of course: After it hasn't warmed for 17 years, we're told that "if global warming continues at the same rate, viviparous lizards are facing extinction in the next few decades"

Lizards facing mass extinction from climate change
By analysing this evolutionary transition in the lizards' reproductive modes and projecting the future impact of climate change, the scientists discovered that increasing temperatures in the species' historically cold habitats would result in their areas of distribution being significantly reduced. As a consequence, if global warming continues at the same rate, viviparous lizards are facing extinction in the next few decades.
