Why a 3-million-year-old lizard species in Arizona has virtually disappeared
A report from the United Nations determined that 1 million species are threatened with extinction. Dr. John Wiens from the University of Arizona believes that number is far higher based on his research. He says climate change is quickening the threat of extinction for species, including a 3-million-year-old lizard population previously found in the Arizona mountains.

It's happening faster than normal extinction
Seems that even if you restructure washing machines to have easily removable filter containers to filter their laundry of microplastics, then turn around and toss that filter in a trash can 🤔
This made me sad to hear how these lizards are running out of mountain..😢
I live in Southern California I see those all the time in The mountain area by my house..
We have these type of lizards here called Anole In NC I dont spray pesticides or herbicides They thrive in my back garden
Look I want to know about uncle Bosey and getting eaten by cannibals!!! Please report on this breaking news!!!
They aren’t the first. They won’t be the last.
Absolutely. We will be the last........ then the Earth will recover and carry on without us!
Your fancy trucks...😢
There are an estimated trillon species on Earth
Super bad things
There are all up here, we have the largest lizards, they came to pay revrence to the largest lizard ever to live a hundred years, it was bigger than the biggest living aligator, it has camo tech like skin that blends into the back ground with perfect match and impeccible detail at each second and step, and when it died, it was just a fake death, it turned itself into a skeleton, there so many lizards surrounded to honor its magestic life. They may never return to Arizona, there they are still worshipping today.
If Gayle can't figure out why the loss of a 3 million year old species is significant (and the loss of 1 million more species), maybe she's not qualified to have such a large platform.
She obviously understands why it’s a bad thing, but many times, the host will ask a question that prompts the audience to gather additional information. For example, there’s going to be some lunatic out there who is going to watch this piece and say, “Well, what’s the big deal? Why should I care about this?” - with Gayle’s question, this gives David an opportunity to explain to the audience who might be thinking that, why they should be concerned and why this is significant.
Snoop Dog was right about you Gayle King.
Look I want to know about uncle Bosey and getting eaten by cannibals!!! Please report on this breaking news!!!
Climate change has been happening for millions of years. We didn't have cars then so you can't blame it all on that these days.
Umm yes we can, this isn’t normal climate change
We are in an interglacial. The climates supposed to change.
Yes (well there’s some debate as to of ours interglacial like you say or of it’s brief moment in a grave glacial period) and we’re as humans have studied it and see how it’s suppose to take place, this era of climate change is no where near the normal rate of change, not only that but we’ve discovered why and it is in fact us
@@RobertSaxy The most recent glacial period occurred between about 120,000 and 11,500 years ago. Since then, Earth has been in an interglacial period called the Holocene. Glacial periods are colder, dustier, and generally drier than interglacial periods. www.ncei.noaa.gov › ...PDF Glacial-Interglacial Cycles - National Centers for Environmental Information
