This article in today’s Post discusses how people responsible for wildlife conservation are having to change their approach because of global warming. The old model, where you set aside a certain fixed area of land to protect the wildlife within it, is becoming obsolete as changes in the climate will, or are already, driving those animals to move to more hospitable environments.

What strikes me when I read pieces like this is how far the very practical people at, say, the Fish and Wildlife Service are from being crazed leftist ideologues drumming up a fake crisis for the sake of some socialistic power grab. These are people trying to do their jobs in light of the very concrete and specific changes they’re observing.
