Roos 'on the Brink of Extinction'

Four wildlife groups are claiming that kangaroos are "on the brink of extinction" in three Australian states. If you read to the end of the article you find that that means they believe that "there are less than five kangaroos per square kilometre across most of NSW, South Australia and Queensland".

Either way, his opinions are largely irrelevant.

Carbon Debits for when you realise that increased water temperature = increased evaporation = increased rainfall = end of the drought.
