Over Educated Bone Heads

Horrors, the Pika rodent isn’t being added to the Endangered Species List! Woe is the “whistle pig”.

A few facts. The Pika has evolved to live in 78 degree or colder climates. Their territory is at or above timberline in mountainous terrain. Summer temperatures are rising in their habitat. In the summer they gather plants and dry them on rocks; then store the dry plants deep in the rocks. During the winter, they live deep under the snow in the rocks.

The number of humans tramping across Pika country is damn small. Baring large scale mining operations starting up, there is little reason to fear human encroachment. Just how in the hell are we supposed to protect the little darlings? Air condition the rocks?

Sadly, many eco freaks will be deprived of well paid positions to study and mitigate the “problem”. Worse, they may need to find real jobs! Join their fellow citizens who’s vocation isn’t their avocation.

Here is the solution! Sue the sun! This pesky raise in the surface temperature is most annoying. Toss in Gaia; is it really necessary to have a wobble every 20,000 years or so? We certainly have enough trial lawyers to bring suit. Keep them busy with this and they won’t have time to screw up other activities or go after sarcastic blog writers.
