Study documents widespread extinction of lizard populations due to climate change

An international team of biologists has found an alarming pattern of population extinctions attributable to rising temperatures. If current trends continue, up to 20 percent of all lizard species are predicted to go extinct by 2080. The study was published in the May 14th issue of Science.

Uh-oh. Billions [of lizards] will die!!!!!!!

    More lizards became extinct before mankind started lighting fires than could ever become extinct in the next few decades.

    By the way, they are still discovering new species of lizard. If a lizard species we never knew becomes extinct, did it ever really exist?

    That whole insect-lizard-snake food chain puts me off my dinner.
