That was interesting, something that had actually occurred to me before briefly here and there but I didn't realize there might be a pattern to it. The question in my mind is to what extent it is intentional or unintentional spin and to what extent scientists are just trying to make the issues understandable. We are all to some extent traditionalists. (Even me. <g>) No one wants kudzu in his back yard or nose rings on his kids. And no one wants tigers and pandas to go extinct. I was awake in the middle of last night and fell back to sleep to a show on the Animal Planet that projected what the Earth might be like way, way in the future. It had glaciers covering Europe, the animals we know extinct, and rats had evolved into something resembling sheep, a diving bird, can't recall the name, into something between a whale and a seal, and a wolverine, I think it was, into something resembling a sabertooth tiger. It was interesting. Not interesting enough to keep me awake, though...
