| Okapi: not extinct |
Charles Payne, a FOX Business analyst and conservative in New York City, writes about how conservationists are overestimating the number of species that have been driven to extinction: "This week it was reported that 1/3 of the world's extinct animals are actually not extinct. How about that! Just as a UN conference is about to get underway that will end with an announcement that 22% of the world's mammals are at risk of extinction, it has been discovered the demise of 67 animals was premature. Dr. Diana Fisher of the University of Queensland Australia came to this conclusion after an extensive study. Do you feel duped? It's like Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew,' where poor tinker Christopher Sly is tricked during a drunken stupor into believing he is a Lord. After years of mounting self-loathing and endless guilt trips, we have slipped into a drunken stupor where we believe Americans are the cause of all the world's problems, from hunger to global warming."
More: "Obviously, man has killed off many animals and could throttle back on the pollution, but major policies are being decided on junk science married with massive dollops of guilt. The UN is the incubator of American guilt trips, stoked on by Americans with a variety of ulterior motives. The list of 187 extinct animals since the 1500s was too large, and that's good news. I hope we don't have to wait around that long after spending trillions of dollars and stripping away American rights in the name of being the good global citizen to find out there were some holes in the story. I think there are many rats pushing the agenda, so let's be shrewd. In the meantime, let's welcome back: > Vanikoro Flying Fox of the Solomon Islands > Cuban Solendon > Okapi".
