Do you have a source? I learned that many new species were discovered since 1945.

Los Angeles in 1979 had air quality that was sinful. The air today has improved greatly. We are improving to get better regarding pollution.

What do fences have to do with Global Warming?

Change what? Our underwear? Demanding change without spelling it out is unhelpful. What is it that you are seeking to change specifically?

Climate change bearometer
January 10, 2007
Polar bear numbers are dwindling, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne said in announcing his agency was moving to protect polar bears under the Endangered Species Act, because their habitat "may literally be melting." Scientific observations have shown that Arctic sea ice has thinned 32 percent in some areas from the 1960s and
One study found that nearly ice-free September conditions could be reached as early as 2040. While receding sea ice is the primary reason given for the threatened designation, the Interior Department said it would not do a scientific analysis of the causes of climate change because this is beyond the scope of the Endangered Species Act review process. As the federal government edges closer to protecting polar bears, it will become more difficult for it to continue to avoid taking steps to address climate change.
