'Extinct' Snail Killed by 'Climate Change' Crawls Back from the Dead
The world's first and only species to go "extinct" because of climate change has been found alive and well - and living where it always has for the past 80,000 or so years - on the Indian Ocean atoll of Aldabra.
Since 2007, the Aldabra Banded Snail (Rhachistia aldabrae) has been the chief poster mollusc of climate alarmists across the globe. That's because - according to a peer-reviewed paper published by an "expert" in the field Justin Gerlach - it was the first extinction directly attributable to climate change.
In his paper, published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, Gerlach claimed:
The only known population of the Aldabra banded snail Rhachistia aldabrae declined through the late twentieth century, leading to its extinction in the late 1990s. This occurred within a stable habitat and its extinction is attributable to decreasing rainfall on Aldabra atoll, associated with regional changes in rainfall patterns in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. It is proposed that the extinction of this species is a direct result of decreasing rainfall leading to increased mortality of juvenile snails.
Gerlach also ventured to suggest that his conclusion was the result of "exhaustive surveys" and "extensive surveys."
But not that exhaustive or extensive, clearly.
The snail - quite handsome by molluscular standards, with a conical shell and a natty, black and reddish-pink go-faster stripe pattern - was recently rediscovered in "dense mixed scrub forest on the coastal fringe of Malabar island, Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles".
This reduces to a grand total of zero the number of species extinctions around the world due to "climate change" - something which will no doubt prove gravely disappointing to global warming alarmists everywhere.
For years, at every opportunity, they have being doing their damnedest to find some species - any species - which they can record as having been wiped out by climate change.
Their other prime contender was the Costa Rican golden toad. But this, it subsequently emerged, was the victim of a chytrid fungus - not, as various ecologists had desperately posited, reduced rainfall due to climate change.
Such is the reluctance of the climate alarmists to admit defeat, however, that they are refusing to update their records accordingly.
One reputable ecologist disturbed by this unscientific behaviour is Oxford University's Clive Hambler, lecturer in Biological and Human Sciences at Hertford College.
He has written to Biology Letters demanding that it retract the misleading J Gerlach et al paper which, he notes, has subsequently been quoted in at least one other peer-reviewed paper, and which has even been incorporated into the latest IPCC climate impacts assessment.
So far, however, Biology Letters has refused to retract the paper - despite the fact that doubts were raised about its credibility almost immediately after its publication in 2007.
Hambler, who has spent nine months doing field work on Aldabra, joined with three fellow experts in submitting a rebuttal to Biology Letters in late 2007. They questioned whether Gerlach, who had spent only a few days on Aldabra, could genuinely describe his survey as either "exhaustive" or "extensive." Furthermore, his accounts of the rainfall record on Aldabra appeared to be a "complete mess."
However, Biology Letters - an imprint of the fervently warmist Royal Society - rejected the paper, claiming it had failed "peer-review."
Hambler said his decision to speak out on this issue was taken with some reluctance because it could be professionally damaging. He was doing so, he told Breitbart London, because of the damage misleading studies like this were doing to the cause of environmentalism.

Piehole contends that increasing manmade CO2 does not cause warming. That is so absurdly wrong as to be laughable.
Jerm contends that somehow the CO2 will cause the earth to cool. Also absurdly wrong and even crazier.
They both seem to think that because the yearly high spike in 98 due to the Pacific oscillation has not been broken that somehow global warming has stopped and the models are wrong. They are both very wrong and apparently are so fucking stupid that they think trends go in straight lines and climate models predict weather.
Here's proof that they are wrong..............
In short, jerm and piehole are such liars and so full of shit that they would fill up a tanker truck with it.

this is what I said...
when I speak of cooling I state I hope co2 is not going to cause cooling... I prefer a little warming to a little cooling and.... you should too.
with respect to temperature... fraudcurrents does not know what the hell he has been talking about.
you can take 1998 out of the equation and just look at temps since 2001 (this century) and you see cooling.
the earth has been cooling because the sun has been less active and the currents have been more in a cooling mode than warming.
science can not find any evidence that says co2 causes warming because co2 lags change in ocean temps.
