a, but then would that become a problem for us? Would Cuba not be just letting everybody get in a boat and come to America because they can't feed them? So I think this Cuba thing, we're going to have to keep an eye on that. I don't know if the Trump administration has a workable plan for what is likely to happen if Venezuela goes balls up.

According to Roger Pielke Jr. on X, is that the son of Roger Pielke Senior? Well, obviously yes. But who is the somewhat well-known climate change critic? I don't know who Junior is, but I think he's probably from the climate change sort of skeptic family, but I'm not positive about that, so don't quote me.

Barti is telling us that there's a new study about extinctions and unexpectedly they say the researchers found that in the last 200 years there was no evidence of increasing extinction from climate change. Didn't you think there was all kinds of evidence? At least I've been told. You might not have believed it, but weren't there claims that climate change was already killing entire species? Apparently, there's no evidence of that whatsoever. There have been studies that showed that it was, but the newest one says no. If you analyze it correctly, there were way more extinctions in the old days. And it's very rare to have an extinction. And when you do have an extinction, they have a specific reason for it, such as it's an island and then some invasive species came to the island and ate all the other species. So that's not climate change. That's just it sucks to live on an island if the alligators come to your island. Then the other one was in some water environments where they also can't get away. So it's more about whether the species that are living there have a way to run away if things get bad. If they can't run away because they're locked in a lake or they're locked in an island, sooner or later something's going to come for them and they can't get away.

Well, I was thinking about talking about this topic, but the news served it up perfectly in time. I've been watching with great interest CNN's pivot from being a left-leaning piece of garbage to what the new owners hope will be something like a middle of the road CNN was always intended to be. I think a middle of the road really just tell you the facts. Do you think they're succeeding? I believe they are and I'm act
