An Agence France-Presse article found on the Sydney Morning Herald website is headlined "Mammals and fish in Arctic on the rise." Do you suppose climate change has anything to do with this?
Probably not. The cause is likely to be restraint in hunting and fishing activities; in other words, a reduced "harvest" of these creatures.
While COTTonLINE takes a skeptical view of human-caused climate change, we clearly recognize that humans can threaten species extinction with over-hunting and over-fishing. And these are behaviors which we can change without upsetting the economy.
