Animals are for left wing snowflakes. Real men like those on the right don’t care about clean air or clean water or the planet having any living organisms left on it. That’s somebody else’s problem. More Coal Rollin’, no more pollution laws and dump your waste wherever you want, that’s what a real man wants!

The proposal also limits habitat safeguards meant to shield recovering species from harm and requires consideration of the economic impacts of protecting an imperiled species.

The changes have alarmed wildlife advocates who fear a weakening of the Endangered Species Act, the landmark law that has been used to save species as diverse as the bald eagle and the American alligator. The proposals were cheered by Republican lawmakers and others who say the endangered species law has been misused to block economic development and needs reform.

One billion humans in 1804, two billion by 1933, seven billion now. The problem is us.

The problem is that, unlike lemmings, when our population gets too high, we don't go jumping off cliffs.
